Unexpected Excitement
We were looking for fun and educational activities and stumbled upon this deal. We absolutely enjoyed the tour and getting to pick our own fruits. Our guide, Sully, was especially kind and entertaining. He even brought some nuts and dried fruits for us to eat during the tour. We even did a little walnut picking with their tools. It was such a hit for the whole family and we came home with a ton of fruits. It was so worth it.
