Johnny Appleseed Festival
Let Johnny teach you about his famous journeys across the land and learn a bit about life on the frontier. Together we'll go on a hayride with scenic views of surrounding mountains and beautiful nature under the open sky. We'll learn about gardening, and you'll plant a seed to take home and grow yourself. Of course, you'll want to take a turn at our old-time cider press and sample a taste of the most delicious apple juice you've ever had. But the fun doesn't stop there. Included in your day will be the following activities - Hayride: with old-fashioned folk song sing-alongs - Hoedown: Folk dancing with jug band participation - Petting Zoo: Johnny had a genuine love for animals and was experienced in animal care. - Seasonal Craft: Make an ornament from real wood - Gardening and Seed Planting: Johnny's expert farming knowledge will be passed on to you. You will learn about how things grow, then plant a seed of your own - Cider Pressing: Learn about cider history, the process of old fashioned pressing, and give it a go with our old fashioned press. - Nature Walk with Medicinal Plants: As an avid nature lover, Johnny has a lot to teach about the beneficial treatments derived from plant sources.
