He has been the recipient of top prizes at major piano competitions, including the Joanna Hodges International Piano Competition. The farm's apple harvest and dance are Oct. 16. Craft and cooking activities fill the day, and an apple harvest dance takes place under the harvest sky. Season passes, good for 12 months from date of purchase, are also available. A traditional activity during apple harvest at the farm is cider pressing.
Visitors are able to crank the apple press, extracting the fresh juice from the fruit.
The cider press has recently been reconditioned thanks to the efforts of an area business, Autoliv. Apple cooking also takes place throughout the day. There will be wagon rides during the day, and early-arriving guests can watch the cow being milked. Farm workers will make corn husk dolls, and wheat will be used for a variety of decorations. There will be a corn-husking contest during the day as well.
