Cider-Making at Mabee Farm

It’s the tastiest season of them all at the Mabee Farm! This year, we have a bumper crop of apples and a newly refurbished, 19th century cider press to play with. Guests will help us pick the remainder of our apples, and press them into cider. We’ll discuss how this famous fruit was an indispensable resource for the Mabees. Of course, everyone who helps with the work gets to taste the results! $5 per attendee. Note: this is NOT a pick-your-own apples event!
