Join us for Applefest!
Sudbury is an apple growers paradise! Yes, its true! We have been growing apples for over 25 years, and we are showcasing local varietals for fresh eating and drinking.
Apple Tasting - We will have some tasting sheets to record the culinary elements of the apples.
Apple Cider Pressing - We will have Phil’s industrial apple chopper and bladder press on site to make the best cider you have ever tasted! The most delicious cider comes from mixing crab apples and having at least some apples with red skin. If you have an apple tree in your yard, or on your street, please bring them and help us process them. If you want to bottle your own personal cider, please make arrangements with Phil at Beautiful Fields Farm, and you can go out to the farm to press. The press can also do pears, so if you have your own pears, we can make a batch of perry, too. Grapes do not work in this press.
Recipes - Learn about making cider, fresh or fermented and making your very own apple cider vinegar!
Buy an Apple Tree: Meet local apple orchardist Phil Beauchamp from Beautiful Field Farm and get all of your questions answered about orcharding in the north! Fall is a great time to plant an apple tree!
For All Ages: Family‑friendly and free; children’s activities and hands‑on experiences welcome.
If you have too many apples for your own use, we are accepting donations of apples at Seasons Pharmacy and Culinaria, 815 Lorne Street starting on Tuesday, September 8, or just bring some with you on Saturday. We will sort the apples for tastings and making community apple cider on Saturday! Please document the name of the varietal and where it was grown.
