Honoring Heirloom Apples: Join us for our Third Annual Heirloom Apple Celebration, a fun-filled day at Gold Ridge Organic Farms in Sebastopol. Welcome the arrival of fall and beloved Heirloom Apples at this family-friendly event. Featuring curated tastes of a handful of the 70+ heirloom apple varieties grown onsite in our organic orchards + our organic Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Plus, enjoy local cheese and apple pairings and taste our new line of apple cider vinegars.
Stroll through our beautiful olive and apple orchards on an interpretive walk led by our resident apple experts. Learn about our pollinator friends with our beekeeper. Enjoy a sample of our own freshly pressed apple juice from our hand turned cider press. Spark your curiosity with culinary adventures and a cooking demo.
Available for purchase (in advance or a la carte): Wood-fired pizzas by Chef Seamus, our signature apple salad, handmade organic ice cream by local favorite Screamin' Mimi's drizzled with our best selling apple cider syrup, and locally made apple hand pies (made with our own apples, of course). Live Americana music by local favorites Staggerstring Trio!
Activities will all take place outside in our Tuscan inspired courtyard and around our olive press on the crush pad. We hope you can join in the fun!
