See how agritourism works at a working orchard
Approx. 2 hours
Farm tour, donut, cider slushie
Explore the day-to-day work behind agritourism at Braeutigam Orchards. This in-depth visit is geared toward agriculture and horticulture groups, plus gardening, nature, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Each participant will get to see how our apple cider donuts are made and try one fresh off the fryer—the best way to eat them. Afterwards, the group will proceed to our marketplace and learn the process of handling fresh picked produce before it goes out for sale while sampling an apple cider slushie. From there, the group will get a look inside our high tunnel and talk about its function, view and discuss the production of a variety of small fruits, then hop on a tractor-led wagon to tour our orchards and fields. Upon the conclusion of the tour, the group will sit down for an open conversation/Q&A about a variety of topics such as the importance of ag-tourism, the farm’s history and evolution, small-scale fruit and vegetable production, and other relevant topics.
