Cherry Picking and Picnic at the Levering Orchard
Levering Orchard, 163 Levering Lane, Ararat, VA 24053
noonish-6ish p.m.
Join the members of Slow Food Piedmont Triad and Slow Food Blue Ridge for an afternoon of sweet cherry picking at the Levering Orchard in Ararat, Virginia. Levering Orchard nestles 2 miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Orchard Gap, 75 miles southwest of Roanoke and 10 miles north of Mount Airy, North Carolina. We can carpool from central locations (a carpool organizer is needed for the Winston Salem area). Once there, we'll split up to pick cherries in the beautiful 100 year old orchard, and walk and relax on the farm. After the cherries are weighed and paid for(by 5 p.m.), Frank Levering will join our picnic and talk to us about the history of this lovely farm. Bring your camera for some gorgeous photo opportunities.
More information about the Levering Orchard can be found at www.leveringorchard.com. A blog post about our trip two years ago can be found here. Yahoo map from Winston Salem to Ararat.
Details will be updated here and on the Slow Food PT email announcement list.
