Harvest season is not far away, and for Hermitage kids, that means a trip to a local working apple orchard is right around the corner.
Registration for the Read, Learn and Grow APPLES activity is now open, and it promises to be a morning that combines learning with hands-on fun. Intended for kids from the ages of 2 to 5, each will need to be accompanied by an adult.
The participants in the function will be heading to Apple Castle, and when they arrive, they will be read a story all about apples. After this, it will be time to ride the tractor to the apple trees and do some picking. This will give the children a chance to see how this fruit is grown and harvested, and before it is time to head for home, they will be able to play some games and maybe even make a new friend.
Many orchards and other agricultural operations offer u-picks during the harvest season. Signage for these pop-up style events will be available at local Print shops, which can provide materials at a variety of price points to its customers.
Apple Castle will be giving kids a sneak peek behind the orchard gate on August 17. The venue is located at 277 Pennsylvania 18 in New Wilmington.
