Read & Pick is an innovative program that combines hands-on farm activity with your young child followed by an education program with stories highlighting the fruit or farm area. In our next program, we welcome young farmers to celebrate planting time, gardens, and nature’s bounty. We will be reading books highlighting gardening and growing followed by an educational component. Then everyone will be a farmer and plant seeds to take home.

Online pre-purchase of tickets is required. Register at terhuneorchards.ticketspice.com/read-pick
