Get ready to GET SINFUL this Halloweekend… we will be picking apples aka Forbidden Fruit at the Los Rios Ranchos apple orchard in Oak Glen aka the Garden of Eden. Get ready to commit the original sin!

We will meet at 8 am in front of Trader Joe’s and start the approximately 2 hour drive to Oak Glen in the San Bernardino Mountains. We’ll spend a couple hours picking apples and frolicking amidst the rows of apple trees. After exploring the farm and orchard, we’ll eat a delicious lunch and discuss our favorite full moon rituals in anticipation of that evening’s astronomical event. Please note that you will have to pay for however many apples you chose to pick— about $3-6 per pound. We’ll be back on campus by 6 pm, giving you plenty of time for whatever evening plans you may have (howling at the moon perhaps).
