You are invited to attend POP’s annual Orchard Celebration, a time to savor the season’s harvest – think fresh figs, cider-pressing, and other locally-made or locally-grown treats from Weckerly’s, That Pikliz Jawn, Riverwards Produce, Philly Foodworks, and more!

The afternoon will also include live music, a silent art auction, and an award presentation to this year’s Purple Fig and Golden Persimmon awardees.

We hope you’ll join us for a fun afternoon of orchard exploration and community connection at POP’s Learning Orchard at the Woodlands. Donations are appreciated but not required, and all are welcome to attend.
