Apple Days Harvest Festivals Planned at Terhune Orchards

For over 40 seasons, Terhune Orchards on Cold Soil Road has held festivals to celebrate its abundant apple harvest. This year’s harvest weekends take place from September 15 through October 28, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays.

Families can take tractor-pulled wagon rides, explore the corn stalk maze, listen to country music by local bands, indulge in cider and donuts, stroll the farm trail, pick apples and pumpkins, and more. Children’s activities include scavenger hunts, rubber duck races, pumpkin painting, and many more ways for children to interact with nature on the farm. The Adventure Barn is decorated differently each year and tells the story of life on a farm. This year’s theme is corn.

Pam’s Food Tent will offer pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, BBQ chicken, vegetarian chili and soups, and other traditional fare. The winery tasting room is open, as is the farm store.

Admission on festival days is $8, ages 3 and up. Parking and access to the farm store and winery is free. More details can be found at http://terhuneorchards.com/fall-family-fun-weekends/.
