Fall on the Farm

Celebrate the harvest and the changing of the seasons with Rodale Institute’s annual Fall on the Farm event. Enjoy all the best parts of fall, from fresh apple cider to pumpkin painting to organic apple picking!

Listen to live music, eat an organic meal from visiting food trucks, and pick your own organically grown apples. We’ll have activities for kids of all ages, free wagon tours of the farm, pumpkin painting, and a fall plant sale for our fellow plant lovers.

While you’re visiting, make sure to pop into the Visitor Center, and check out our walking tour of the farm.

Our certified organic orchards contain a diverse selection of apple varieties, about 30 in total. Planted in the 1980’s, our orchards are used to research best practices for growing apples organically. Despite the diseases and pests that accompany apple production in the East, we’ve seen great success without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
