Harvest Day Celebration

This event is a spin off from our original Apple Harvest Day celebration—only bigger and better. This special event focuses on all the sights and smells of harvest time on the farm. The harvest events include lots of special activities with many of the items harvested in the fall: apples, pumpkins, potatoes... your day will be filled with lots of arts and crafts, food, games, fellowship and fun.

Harvest Day Events:

Stations for the following activities will be set up and participants may enjoy each activity throughout the day.

• Apple Butter: Smell, taste, help make and take home apple butter prepared on the open fire.
• Apple Sauce: cut and peel the apples making your own jar of applesauce.
• Digging Potatoes: Better than hunting Easter eggs is finding fresh, raw potatoes in freshly dug soil.
• Sewing Project: take home a scented trivet for your table.
• Mosaics: create a pumpkin, apple or fall leaf mosaic using real cut glass and grout.
• Leaf Printing: using leaves as printing materials, make your own wrapping paper.
