Apple Picking with JETAA!

Please join us on October 14th at the Spicer Orchard! Activities include apple picking, hay rides, animal feedings, and corn maze. This event is family friendly, but there is a winery for those who don’t want it to be so family friendly. Learn about JETAA and meet other members while doing what Japanese people love doing; picking large quantities of fruit!

This is not a JETAA sponsored event so everyone is responsible for paying for their own apples, wine, activities…etc. Everyone who attends will get a apple pie recipe that I may have printed from a website from Googling “Apple Pie Recipes”.
