Orchard Tour & Tasting - August Event

A morning in the orchard: guided tour, fruit tasting, culinary tutorial, farm lunch & fresh fruit ice cream! Date: August 15, 2026, 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM Location: Raintree Nursery Join owners, Rye and James, on a private Orchard Tour and experience a unique opportunity to taste a wide variety of fruit — many of which you will never encounter at a grocery store or farmers market. This is a wonderful chance to taste the fruit before you grow the plant! Some of the fruits we hope will be available are mulberries, currants, Asian plums, blueberries, Aronia, and peaches. We have partnered with a local hospitality business owner, Shannon Javaras, to provide you with a delicious culinary tutorial with our harvest bounty. Following the tutorial will be a wonderful lunch featuring locally sourced food from the Big Bottom Valley, specialty fruit beverages, and fresh fruit ice cream.
