9/14: Apple Picking! Vintage Playground Fun! Peacocks! Homemade Pastries, Popsicles + Picnic on Stunning Beach (Santa Cruz Area)

from $0.00

Sunday, Sept. 14, 2024, 10:30 a.m. — 1 p.m.🍂🍏🍎🥧 Fall fun at a cozy, family-run orchard! This is not your typical over the top, crowded apple picking experience. Instead, this is a small farm with kids in mind: The trees are dwarf trees, meaning the littles can easily reach up and pick their chosen treat! The orchard offers so many homemade treats, like yummy turnovers, apple cider and even popsicles 🥧 And, some vintage playground structures, too! Our day will wrap with a community picnic on a nearby beach, with long stretches of white sand made for sandcastle building!

WHAT TO EXPECT:🍏🍎  Apple Picking Off the Tree: Your little will treasure the experience of picking their own apples right off the tree!

🐾Fun for the Kids: Some old-school playground bikes and a seesaw will thrill the kids (and keep them occupied) plus they can ride on a swing tucked amid the apple trees or share a family swing with other littles and parents. 
🥧🥫🧃🍞🧺 Treats: Enjoy some homemade apple turnovers, apple cider and even popsicles for purchase. The orchard also offers other veggies, fruits, lavender goods (made from their garden) 🪻 and yes, coffee ☕
🔍 Scavenger Hunt: Embark on a fun scavenger hunt around the orchard + beach!
🩴☀️🏖️ Beach Picnic + Play: After apple picking, we'll head to a nearby beach that has picnic tables (yay!), stunning views, white sand, much fun for the kids and relaxation for the parents! We can't wait to see you there! 
* 🫶🏿🫶🏾🫶🏽 Community, friendship and support: Instant 'playdate' for your kiddos! We usually have kids from toddlers up to tweens join, with all of the kids playing together! You might see old FAS friends + hopefully make some new ones, too!✨

  • DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY, short walk through orchard. Strollers can be used but will have some challenges on some terrain. For beach, easy short walk to sand from cars but stairs are involved so best to leave strollers in vehicles.
