Doorways: Mirth and Memory Immersive Event - Main Image

Doorways: Mirth and Memory at Clarkdale Fruit Farms is a story installation bridging a Fourth generation orchard with its past, present and future. Please download this walk in advance of strolling the orchard. Enjoy stories of the land and fourth generation family of bucolic Clarkdale Fruit Farms orchards. Begin at the open flag at the top of the driveway and walk toward the farmstand and big apple. Each new voice or song is an invitation to pause, take in the environment and listen to a story. If you would like to move on, and walk out of the sound pool, that particular story will continue on where you left off if you return to that location. There is no right or wrong way to walk the orchard. Please stay on the paths and mown areas of the orchard. Please do not open any orchard gates. Climbing the drumlin beyond the fence, trees and the sculpture is prohibited. We hope you enjoy this labour of love and share your thoughts with us! Participating artists include: Lori Holmes Clark, Tom and Ben Clark, Becky Clark, Emerson Clark, Erin McKeown, Kris Delmhorst, Sam Perry, Laura Siersema, Mimi Rabson, Sarah Swersey, Elaine Sexton, Linda McInerney, Lindel Hart, Linda Tardif, Jack Golden, Joe Dulude II, and Josh Ruder.
