With tours of Island Orchard Cider‘s orchard, Sweet Mountain Farm‘s bee farm, Gathering Ground’s orchards, vineyards and grazing sheep, and Island Harvest‘s strawberry patch, participants will also get a literal taste of local flavors.

The ticket price of $45 for adults and $20 for kids aged 4-12 includes a locally-sourced box lunch from Hotel Washington, fresh strawberries, and cider tastings.

Island Adventure – the starting place for off-island visitors – is offering a 10% discount for full day bike rentals for anyone who wants to join but doesn’t have their own bike. Burleys and e-bikes also available.
