Great Maine Apple Day - Sunday, October 20 🍎🍏

Fall fruit season is here! Join MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardners Association) at the Common Ground Education Center in Unity, Maine.

The day’s offerings include guided tours of the MOFGA orchards, workshops on caring for fruit trees, and ongoing apple cider pressing. Attendees can begin or expand growing trees in their gardens or communities, by picking up free fruit saplings from the Maine Heritage Orchard, as well as warm climate-adapted forest trees — to assist our forest trees in their migration north! Additionally, participants can connect with our Apple Identification Team — apple experts who help identify “mystery” apples. Local vendors will provide delicious hot food, farm-fresh products, and baked goods, bottles and cans of locally-crafted hard cider, tools for fruit trees, and more. Plus, enjoy free apple and cider tastings!
