Fall

Weekends throughout September and October are when Apple Festival reigns supreme. Join the apple-picking frenzy to get the best apples for cooking, baking, or snacking. In between picking and cracking into an apple fresh from the tree, there are craft booths, live entertainment, and plenty of activities for the whole family.

Get lost in a corn maze or enjoy a family wagon ride. Apple treats abound as well; take your pick of just-pressed cider, freshly dipped caramel apples, jams, apple butter, syrups, and applesauce. Before Halloween and Thanksgiving, visitors can explore the many Green Bluff pumpkin patches to find the best jack o’ lantern or best pumpkin for pies. See if you can spot the cannon shooting pumpkins into the air or the corn-firing air gun using pumpkins for target practice.

Be sure to check out the pumpkin donuts too, several farms offer them and all claim to be the best, but you can be the ultimate judge.
