About the Event
The Apple Cider Festival began as a way to help local residents glean the fruit from their trees, in order to discourage bears foraging in the fall. Now, it is a fun annual event that brings community members together to learn how to make fruit cider.
Bring your home-grown or store-bought apples or pears as well as a clean, quart-size container. (We do not have growlers for sale on-site this year.) Please note that you may or may not get the cider from your own fruit - though we certainly do try. We also, may not be able to press large quantities of fruit all at once, in order to allow others time at the press as well. As a community hands-on event, you are involved with the process of helping volunteers with washing the fruit, cutting the fruit, and pressing the fruit. It is a lot of fun for all involved - we promise you won't be disappointed!
Volunteer Opportunities: We will need help with the apple presses, chopping stations, and ktichen. Please let us know if you would like to help!
