September may mean back to school for many, but at Great Country it means back to the farm for freshly pressed cider and apples! We will celebrate the start of the cider pressing season with tastings of this season’s best sparkling cider blends including peach, cherry and raspberry. Take home some freshly pressed cider from McCutcheon's and Rinkers to add to your next celebration!
Don't worry, we didn't forget about the parents! For our very first year we are excited to announce that Showalters Orchard will be offering hard cider tastings for purchase, as well as, Corcoran Brewery with their Apple Wine Product. In addition, MTO Kombucha tastings will be available promoting health with detoxifying and immune-system-enhancing qualities.
Nothing says Fall like Apple Butter! Come watch the members and friends of Catoctin Presbyterian Church in Waterford, VA who have been making apple butter for more than twenty five years. All proceeds from the project go directly to the church to support its operations, programs and mission works in the community.
To celebrate everything apple, the farm will have cider pressing demonstrations with the families antique 1865 Cider press. Visitors are encouraged to try giving the press a crank to see how cider used to be produced. We will also have our Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch open! Get lost in our corn stalks, and if you have never been in a pumpkin field before a frost, you will be amazed by plants over your knees that hide their orange treasure.
