Apple Days Harvest Festivals at Terhune Orchards
For over 40 seasons, Terhune Orchards has held festivals to celebrate our abundant apple harvest. Over the years as our family continues to grow, we also have planted new varieties in the apple orchards. Our enthusiasm for everything apples continues to grow bigger and stronger!
Join us on any or all weekends, from September 15 through October 28 to experience the joy of fall on our farm for Apple Days Harvest Festivals, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.
During these seven fall weekends, a full day of fun on the farm awaits the entire family. Enjoy the view of trees laden with red, golden and green apples during a tractor-pulled wagon ride around our preserved farmland. Explore our corn stalk maze. Sit a while and listen to some good old-fashioned country music. Inhale the aroma of fragrant apple pies wafting in from our bakery. Warm up with a cup of our freshly pressed apple cider and famous donuts. Stroll on the Farm Trail to get up close and personal with nature. Pumpkin picking and apple picking are always a favorite pastime here at the farm.
Children’s activities include scavenger hunts, rubber duck races, pumpkin painting and many more ways for children to interact with nature here on the farm. Our Adventure Barn is decorated differently each year and tells the story of life on a farm. This year our theme will be Corn. Be sure to stop by the barnyard to visit the animals. Kids can take a pony ride or have their faces painted, too.
Every Saturday and Sunday during the seven fall weeks, Terhune Orchards features live music played by some of the area’s best local talent. Most bands are returning by popular demand.
