We are going to County Line Orchard on our bikes. I know you’re asking, “what’s the sense riding my bike to an Apple Orchard if i can’t carry anything? Well this will be your lucky day because we are providing a vehicle that can carry your extra shoes so you can enjoy the orchard in comfort. It will also carry your purchased items back to your origin. Imagine going to a place that grows dozens of different varieties of apples from sweets to tart. What kind of pie or cobbler can you make with that? How about buying apple cider extracted that very day? Or apple donuts from their bakery?   Additional Information: Our final destination will be at the https://www.countylineorchard.com/ 200 S County Line Rd, Hobart, In 46342 Please verify on the MTC3 Facebook page by 8:00 am in case the ride is called by cold temperatures or rain.
