Description:
Step back in time and experience the magic of traditional apple cider making! In this hands-on class designed especially for children, kids will learn how apple cider was made in the old days using a classic apple press. From harvesting to washing to turning the crank and watching the sweet juice flow, novice cider makers will be guided through each step of the process in a fun, interactive way. Each participant will have the opportunity to taste the fresh cider, and we will sample a few different apple varieties as well.

Ticket fee includes a self-guided farm pass for all family programs that occur during open farm hours, 9AM-4PM. Your self-guided farm pass must be utilized immediately before or after your program time.
