The festival has all the sights and sounds of traditional harvest activities to enliven the pastoral setting of Sherwood-Jayne Farm. The 18th century farmhouse retains its original apple orchard, where some of the trees are over 100 years old. Visitors can also take a look inside the barn and learn about the various agrarian tools.
The whole family will enjoy a host of activities including old-fashioned games like apple relay races, tug-o-war, and apple-head doll making. The festival features open-hearth colonial cooking demonstrations, an apple pie baking contest and pie auction and tours of the historic Sherwood-Jayne House. Take a hike on a nature trail and learn about the farm’s natural habitat with Seatuck Environmental Association. There will also be storytelling, pony rides, traditional music, an old- fashioned hay ride, sheep shearing, face painting and many other events for people of all ages. (Some of these activities will have an additional charge.)
The festival also features apples of all kinds, apple pie, fresh apple cider, hot pretzels, apple cider donuts, homemade jams, fresh popcorn and hot dogs. Colonial craftspeople will be on hand to demonstrate and sell their products,
