The next orchard tour will be Saturday, October 17th from 10:00am - 12:00pm at Dennis Sharmahd’s 3-acre Escondido farm and garden. This tour will have a maximum of 30 attendees due to space and parking constraints. We expect it to book up quickly so get your RSVP's in ASAP.

He expects to have available for tasting kei apples, sweet and tart pomegranates, and a few late jujubes. He will have guavas, sweet pomegranates, Suriname cherries, figs, and rare herbs for sale during our tour.
