This Saturday the kids get to make their own APPLE CIDER by tossing apples into the big wooden apple press! They also get to turn the wheel and squeeze the juice out…we’ll take it and pasteurize it so you can drink it safely. Thanks to our great volunteers and farmers who donate the apples this annual market event will run all day and is something the kids just love to do! Next Saturday we will be apple-tasting… grab a bite and choose your favorite! OSU Extension apple-preserving handouts will be available. Taste the kids cider…then Profarm will be selling their delicious apple cider this week for you to take home!
