you will hand-pick your own bucket of Julian apples, and learn what
Slow Food Urban San Diego and Raven Hill are doing to promote healthy
farms. Perhaps a tasting might even be included. Then enjoy some time
on your own to shop or have lunch* in Julian before heading back to
San Diego. Your $65 event ticket

copy of The Orchard, the Raven Hill tour, a bag of hand-picked apples,
and a donation to Slow Food Urban San Diego to purchase heritage apple
trees for farms, community and school gardens.
