You can pick your own apples at our Cold Soil Road farm and our Van Kirk farm on Apple Day. Autumn also brings pumpkins and gourds, and you can pick your own at the Terhune home farm.

Make sure to bring an appetite. At Pam’s down-home food tent we will be roasting a pig for pork sandwiches, and you will also find barbecued chicken, hot dogs, homemade salads and soup for sale. Satisfy your cravings for dishes made with apples! We will have apple pies, apple muffins, apple bread, cider doughnuts and applesauce, and you can quench your thirst with cold cups of our own Terhune apple cider.

Adults 21 and over can stop in at our vineyard and winery tasting room in our 150-year-old barn and sample our award-winning red and white wines, plus our popular apple wine.

Our farm store will be full of fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, homemade pies, homemade cookies, and of course our own fresh-pressed apple cider.

Our fall festivals continue Saturdays and Sundays beginning the weekend of Sept. 22 and ending Oct. 28 , including Columbus Day, Monday Oct. 8. There will be live music, pumpkins to pick and decorate, pony rides, face painting, wagon rides, the corn stalk maze to explore, the adventure barn to visit, and festival foods to eat.
