HARVEST FESTIVAL
2023 marks the 49th year running that Applecrest has invited our community to celebrate and share in the harvest. Our Festivals offer a break from the tangle of everyday living with pure and simple, honest-to-goodness family fun. So, grab the gang and come visit us at Applecrest where, as always, admission and parking are FREE. See you at the farm!
