During the visit, guests will enjoy a tour and take a wagon ride to the orchard where they will be able to pick a quarter peck of apples, or about three pounds.

The group will stop for lunch at Mildred’s Restaurant in Ardmore. Offering a buffet of Southern fare, diners will find fried chicken and an array of other meats and vegetables, as well as a salad bar and dessert bar.
