26th Annual Apple Butter Festival, Saturday, October 15, 2022
Join us on October 15 for the 26th Annual Apple Butter Festival and celebrate fall at Wade’s Mill
We’ll be making apple butter the old-fashioned way, slow simmered in a 130+ year old copper pot over an open fire.
Take a turn stirring with the long-handled paddle and take home a jar of Glenn Wilson’s famous, freshly made, 100% natural apple butter.
Enjoy demonstrations and find unique, handcrafted work and gifts by local artisans and crafts people. Delicious local food and drink and music all day. Arrive early, bring a blanket or lawn chair for the music and stay all day so you don’t miss out!
