Goldbud

The hot summer days create the perfect environment for the season’s best produce and the Apple Hill Growers are celebrating them all at this month’s Harvest Days Trail Event.

The region’s farms grow a lot more than their eponymous apples. On July 24 and 25, the Growers are shining a spotlight on their summer crops, each more delicious than the last. Visitors can sample mouthwatering stone fruits, juicy berries, healthy veggies, scrumptious baked goods and jams, plus the area’s best wines and hard cider.

Many area farms are offering special items and fun experiences for the whole family:
