Even though fall may feel like a million years away with 110-degree temperatures outside, Gilcrease Orchard is looking for volunteers to help pick Gala apples for their apple cider.
“Our Cider production is right around the corner, so we need all the help we can get to pick these apples over the next few weeks,” Gilcrease Orchard said in an Instagram post.
Apple-picking starts at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Volunteers over age 12 are preferred. The orchard recommends apple-pickers wear long sleeves, pants, sunscreen and a hat — with extra water to stay hydrated in the heat.
“This is a great opportunity to give back to your favorite Orchard!!” the orchard said in the post.
