Come for either or both parts:

11:00am - or anytime on your own: Apple picking. Meet at Whittier Fruit Farm (219 Whittier Rd. Rochester NY 14624) for some apple picking with friends. Look for the Cuttings, who will be welcoming Artisan folks at the orchard. Here’s a photo.

Groups will meet weekly through the week of November 11th.
