SUMMARY:🍎 🍏 EVENT: Apple Tasting at Wilder Ranch Saturday Oct 17
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Annual Apple Tasting at Wilder Ranch is right around the corner!\n\nEvent Details:\n\n– Date: Saturday\, October 17th\n– Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM\n– Location: Wilder Ranch Heritage Harvest Festival\n– Tickets: [Link to Tickets] \nIf you have ever wanted to sample freshly picked apples or learn which varieties thrive in our local area\, this event is for you! Hosted by the Monterey Bay Chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers as part of the Wilder Ranch State Park Harvest Festival\, we will have up to 70 different varieties available to taste—ranging from historic favorites to new locally bred varieties with unique pink flesh.\n\nAdmission:\n\n– Individuals: $5\n– Couples: $8\n– Families: $10\n– Volunteers: Free! \n\nNew This Year: Take a Number and Enjoy the Festival \nLast year\, more than half of our 500+ guests arrived between 11:00 AM and noon. This year\, whether you want to arrive early or come later\, we will have you check in\, and take a number. We’ll provide an estimated wait time so you can explore the Harvest Festival rather than standing in line. \nIf you purchase admission online in advance\, you can skip the payment line and go directly to pick up your number. \nWhile you wait\, visit our new Community Zone—a place to learn more about apples\, connect with fellow fruit enthusiasts\, and enjoy activities designed especially for younger visitors. You may also explore the rest of the festival and return as your number approaches. \nIt is our hope that this new system will allow you to avoid a long line and enjoy more of everything the festival has to offer. \nVolunteer Opportunities:\n\nWe need volunteers to help cut apples and greet visitors. No prior experience is necessary\, as we will provide all the information you need. Volunteers receive free admission and the opportunity to connect with fellow fruit enthusiasts. \nTo join us\, please add your name to the [Volunteer List Link] and register for your free volunteer ticket. Consider volunteering for the late shift\, as we are often light on hands after 2 pm. \nUpcoming Events Preview:\n\n– November (probably): Persimmon Harvest & Hoshigaki Making (location TBD)\n– Nov 14: We’ll have an Apple Tasting booth at Ag History 2nd Saturday (Watsonville Fairgrounds) (contact me directly if you are interested in volunteering for this)\n– Nov 21: Persimmons with Andy Mariani (German Hall)\n– Dec 12: Holiday Party (Live Oak Grange)\n– Feb 6\, 2027: Scion Exchange (Soquel High School)\n– April 2027: Cherimoya Tasting & Talk (location TBD) \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n\nSupport Our Parent Organization – If you’re not already a member of CRFG\, Inc.\, here’s your chance. They do amazing work that makes events like ours possible. When you support them\, you support us too—and keep this community thriving. Here’s a link to learn more about joining. 🙏\n\nBest regards\,\nLaura
