In April, 350 Honeycrisp apple trees were planted in a small urban orchard on Mack Ave. in East Detroit. Core Orchards Detroit will be the first U-pick orchard in the city bringing fresh, affordable produce to the community.
To help fund the necessary tools and services needed to sustain the orchard, Wolverine Human Services is hosting the second annual Cider Slush fundraiser.
Entry to Shed 5 includes 10 hard cider samples, two "Cider Slushy" drinks, and access to live entertainment from Your Generation. Event attendees can also purchase additional drinks from the full-service bar and food from participating food trucks.
