Save the HARVEST FESTIVAL 2023 Date: Saturday, October 7, noon till dusk at the Wild Raspberry Orchard. It looks like we will have a decent crop (if the deer don't get too greedy). Once again we will have the full experience of cider pressing, ice-cream churning (on a bike likely), pizza in brick oven (heated with apple wood), Ruth's scrumshus apple pies, picking organic apples, games, sharing of organic agricultural techniques and some live music (counting on volunteers). The organizations that the proceeds will go for–efforts and organizations working for sustainability, peace, justice—will be announced as time gets closer. We hope to see you.

Since 2022 has a small crop (trees have become ni-annual), we won’t have a festival. We expect 2023 should bring in a big crop and we hope to see friends come back to experience the harvest festival.

Its looking good this year. Most of the trees have apples that look good. The weather was cold but warm enough that our bees were able to pollinate them. Using organic repellants (Kaolin clay and cayenne pepper) and biological controls has been working. We are planning the HARVEST FESTIVAL FOR OCTOBER 5, 2019. We'll keep you posted. Consider volunteering (set up, helping one of stations, music performance or clean up).

No harvest fest this year. Sorry, crop failure. Climate change? Seemingly either an April frost or a Spring that was so cold that pollinators didn't come out of their hives/nests. Next year we hope.
