A Day in the Country: Picnicking and Apple Picking

Let’s meet at [Rinker Orchards ](https://rinkerorchards.com/)in Stephen’s City, Virginia for a picnic in the orchard followed by apple picking.

Arrive at noon for a picnic in the orchard. Please bring your own vegan lunch, utensils, drinks, and something that you can sit on, perhaps a nice picnic blanket or your own lawn chair. (They sell cider, including by the pint – perfect size for lunch.)

After lunch we’ll pick apples and check out the cider and apple butter vendors.

Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome, as long as you clean up after them.

Here’s how you will find us: we will meet near the parking area and have a VSDC sign.
