The October 8th Apple and Pear Sample the Harvest Event is a great chance to try out the later apples and pears.
Please take note: Due to the cool season and heavy insect infestation the apple harvest will be limited this year although the pear crop looks good.
Sampling will take place in the WWFRF Fruit Garden. There will be no sampling in the WSU Field Orchards.
The apple and pear sampling will proceed as follows:
- The public will arrive starting at 11:00 AM and park in the area North of the WWFRF Fruit Garden. Parking volunteers will direct traffic into the parking area.
- Participants will then sign in at the registration table.
- Dave Macvuga will give a short talk on cider.
- Harvest Sampling Events are free to current WWFRF members, and open to non-members @ $15 / Individual and $30.00 / family (one household only). No pets are allowed.
- Participants are only allowed to harvest a few samples of the various fruit varieties.
- Sweet apple cider will be available for tasting.
- This event will end at 2:00 PM.
