Join us sipping mulled cider & singing as we celebrate our thriving Community Orchard, as much yours as ours and here for future generations. Bring a gallon (or more!) of sweet cider (as you’re inspired & able) to add to our maple syrup evaporator: The fire will be crackling and we’ll make cider syrup to send everyone home with! Bring a mug for hot cider, a pint jar for syrup to bring home. If you’d love to help put rodent guards on our trees and otherwise ready our orchard for winter, we love you and arrive at 10 and join us for a potluck lunch at noon! At 12:30 our farm tour begins and at 1 pm we’ll celebrate Wassail with song (practice here!), reflection & merry-making! At 2 we’ll dig our nursery appletrees, sending them home with everyone ready to plant more trees for the world to come.
