GEM MINING

Discover a world of hidden treasures at Apple Ridge Farms with our Gem Mining Adventure, a hands-on experience that kids and adults alike will love! Nestled in a scenic corner of our farm, this engaging activity invites guests to purchase a bag of mining rough and head over to our authentic running sluice. As the water flows, you'll sift through the mixture to uncover colorful gems, minerals, and fossils — all of which you get to keep and take home as your personal treasure.

Our gem mining station is designed to be both fun and educational. It’s a great way for children to learn about geology, the formation of rocks and minerals, and the excitement of discovery — all while enjoying the fresh farm air. Whether you're here for the first time or returning for more gem-hunting fun, each bag holds a unique surprise, making every experience a little different from the last.

Open daily, our Gem Mining attraction is a must-visit during your trip to Apple Ridge Farms. It's the perfect add-on to a day of exploring the farm, picking pumpkins, or enjoying our other kid-friendly activities. Come ready to get your hands a little dirty and leave with sparkling treasures and big smiles!
