October 10th
Cider Pressing, Open Farm Day and Pot Luck
Join us on October 10th between 2pm and 6pm for a good-ol' fashioned cider pressing here at the farm. This has proved to be an amazing apple year- so bring your apples (not sprayed) and containers for holding your cider. We have a lot of apple trees here so if you don't have apples come over and help us collect ours. We will give a farm tour and have some food and drinks available, but bring some of your own to enjoy and share.
