3rd Annual Apple Festival: Talk, Tasting, and Tour at Oak Point Farm
September 22, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Enjoy an afternoon among the apple trees during the 3rd Annual Apple Festival: Talk, Tasting, and Tour at BRLT’s Oak Point Farm. This year’s theme is “As American as Apple Pie”. Local orchardist Ron Ross will once again educate and entertain as he presents the rather surprising history of the Apple Pie. After the talk, participants will have the opportunity to taste a variety of Maine heirloom apples, make apple cider, and take a stroll in the orchards at Oak Point Farm. Slices of apple pie and raffle tickets for apple themed prizes will also be available for purchase.
Presenter Ron Ross serves on the BRLT Board of Directors and as a tour guide at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. He is retired from Drew University where he taught biology and statistics before moving to administration where he became Vice President for Development. Ron and his partner, Fred Kraeuter, began Burnham Cove Heirloom Apple Orchard on the River Road in Boothbay in 2014.
This event will take place under a tent with adjacent parking in the field at Oak Point Farm, so folks are encouraged to dress warmly. Registration is requested. Register for this free event here:
