Fourth Annual Heirloom Apple Festival at Gold Ridge Organic Farms

Honoring Heirloom Apples: Join us for our Fourth Annual Heirloom Apple Festival, 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 and our organic Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Plus, enjoy local cheese and apple pairings and taste our beloved apple cider balsamic vinegar and apple cider syrup.

Stroll through our beautiful olive and apple orchards with founder-farmer Brooke Hazen or take a ride on our apple-themed trolley. Enjoy a sample of our own freshly pressed apple juice from our hand turned cider press. Spark your curiosity with culinary adventures, cooking demos and displays. Kids can win a prize on an apple-themed scavenger hunt.

Available for purchase (in advance or a la carte): Wood-fired pizzas by Chef Seamus, locally made apple crumble (made with our own apples, of course) and delicious apple cider slushies. Live music by Spike Sikes and his Awesome Hotcakes!

Activities will all take place outside, around our olive press on the crush pad. We hope you can join in the fun!
