Help us pick apples from our own orchard and then join us as we take our bounty down the hill to the village of Williamsvile to participate in a community cider pressing party! Learn about how cider is made and meet some of the local residents as we grind the apples into mash and then press the mash into cider! Hear about different methods for making hard cider.

Then, as if that wasn’t enough, join us (or watch) as we collect the gift our four hives of bees have given us; sweet light golden honey made from the flowers you see all around Frog Meadow!
