Fall Hike and Apple Picking

Celebrate harvest time with a fall hike and fruit picking

Sunday, october 2 2022

***

Spend a day in the countryside during the most picturesque time of year! Join us for a fall hike followed by apple picking at Nature’s Bounty Farm

Autumn time in Ontario is breathtakingly beautiful- and it only last for a short while. Make the most of this fresh and fun time of year with a trip to the countryside! We’ll spend the morning hiking on the Oakridges Moraine at Glen Major Forest. The Moraine is an important land feature to Southern Ontario. Its rolling valleys are protected in parks such as this as its soils play an important role in keeping our drinking water clean!

We’ll head to Nature’s Bounty Farm for lunch- a quaint farm and country store- where you can purchase some farm grown produce, honey, pies, or other yummy items. In the afternoon we’ll hit the orchards to pick apples fresh from the trees!

The cost of apples is included in this price. You will be able to pick 10lbs of classic apples per ticket. If you would like to upgrade to fancier apples once arriving at the farm, you may do so for 10$.

THIS ACTIVEDAYS TRIP IS ORGANIZED BY THE ACTIVEDAYS COMMUNITY. SEE ALL ACTIVEDAYS TRIPS AND JOIN US VIA OUR FACEBOOK GROUP!

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure

Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will bring printed copies of the waiver to sign on the bus. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
