We have a walk that takes us down through the Hunter Farm to the Annapolis River and across to the Lawrencetown tree nursery. The walk begins in the organic apple orchard and ends with a cold beer at Lunn’s Mill brewery. Andrew Maher owned the property from 2008 to 2021. The new owners are Rob Jarvis and Sinead Wills (justbewoodsy.com) (see blog post here).

Driving across Grey County (apple country) from Sauble to Clarksburg with Leslie’s parents, I noted what appeared to be tall vineyards but was told were apple orchards. Do you know about this?
Still at home with covid-like symptoms, feeling crappy and waiting for the results of PCR test.

Hope you feel better soon.
