Re: 12th Annual Yosemite Valley Apple Picking

All visitors, employees, and residents are invited to pick apples to help keep bears wild! DNC will again provide their famous Bear Scat Muffins free to hardworking volunteers.

Monday, August 17, 2009 at Curry Village Apple Orchard from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
and
Lamon's (Valley Stables) Apple Orchard from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

These ripe apples attract bears to developed areas and alter their natural diets. By removing the apples, bears will return to natural food sources found throughout the park and not become exposed to humans and their food. Parking will not be allowed in the Curry Village Orchard Lot from Monday, August 17th at 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please check with your supervisor before attending. Just an hour of your time will be greatly appreciated!

Apples not taken home by employees and visitors will be donated to the Hornitos Catahoula Ranch.

is these the ranch the Fouch family owns?

You think that there is a privately owned ranch in Yosemite Valley?

i meant wher the apples go to in Hornitos

Presumably so. The "Happy Hogs" portion of their website makes reference to this as part of their feed:

[In originally scanning over Rick's post, I missed that last sentence. Hence, my query above.]

thank for letting me know
