Events & Tradeshows
Annual Fruit Tasting Open House
Note: this is a free event, but please support our hard working vendors.
Have you ever wished to sample some of our interesting varieties before buying a tree? Stop in during our annual fruit tasting open house! You can sample various fruits and take a self-guided tour of our holistically-managed test orchard.
The Tasting: We have been harvesting all sorts of fruits and berries from our orchard all summer and fall! We plan to set the big tent up in the orchard this year, leaving accessibility parking in the main driveway, and vendors and plants for sale in the sales area (where the tasting has been previous years). Note: Our crop is smaller than normal this year so there will be a smaller selection of fruit than in previous years.
Making Cider: We'll be doing cider demos throughout the day. This is an interactive activity, with children (and adults!) helping toss fruit in or turn the crank. Self-Guided Tour: This hasn't changed much, though since we pastured the pigs through the orchard recently, the ground is considerably less even; stick to the main driveway in the orchard for smoother walking.
Other Vendors: Multiple local vendours will be selling various goods at the Fruit Tasting!
Stay tuned for 2025 tradeshows!
