Sponsored by the Pine Bush Lion’s Club, this year’s festival boasts over 100 vendors, including Widmark Farms, local carpenter Keith Murray, who crafts furniture from forged barn wood and Evan Eskew, a local artist who creates jewelry and wind chimes from wood reclaimed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Along with this year’s vendor selection, the food, as Harvest Festival Chairperson, Joanne Caufield puts it, may be the best part. Raffles, crafts and fun for the kids are slated for a day of fun for the whole family. Festivities begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. from Rt. 302 to rt. 52 and all vendor fees are donated to local food pantries for the holiday season.

The Hudson Valley is rife with oppor-tunities to pick fresh apples this autumn; with so many options, it is difficult to find the ideal orchard. Enthusiasts can choose from farms such as Masker Orchards and Applewood Orchard, both in Warwick, Lawrence Farms Orchards in Newburgh, Soons Orchard in New Hampton, and a host of others. One local farm offering apple-pick-ing that stands out among its peers is Apple Hill Farm, located on Route 32 in New Paltz. Apple Hill, operat-ed by Christine Moriello—a recent graduate of Mount Saint Mary College—has been in Moriello’s family since its establishment in the 1940s. Featuring an exceptional view of the Shawangunk Mountain Range and offering ten to twelve varieties of apples for picking (and about twenty for sale in the farm store), Apple Hill is an ideal option for enjoying outdoor fall activities. The farm attracts not only Hudson Valley residents but also those from New York City and New Jersey hoping to get out and appreciate what nature has to offer. Moriello states that among the reasons apple pickers will appreci-ate her farm’s apples are the “vintage varieties” such as Opalescent. Some of the trees on the farm have been extant since Apple Hill’s inception, which Moriello says lends an “old and estab-lished” flair to the apples. In addition to Opalescent, the trees in the orchard produce vari-eties including McIntosh, Jonamac, Cortland, Spartan, Empire, Mutsu, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Macoun. When asked what tips she has

for potential apple pickers, Moriello says that it “depends on taste;” since apple pickers are often looking for a diverse range of uses for the apples.

The wide assortment available should appeal to those pickers seeking apples for cooking and baking as well as those simply looking to enjoy the flavor of a

fresh apple. In addition to pick-your-own, Apple Hill also offers free hay-rides and fire truck rides, making the farm an ideal destination for families seeking fun in the outdoors. Moriello, who recently took over the farm and is looking for ways to expand, says there exists “lots of potential for more.” Moriello is plan-ning to offer weekends of food and music at Apple Hill, including cook-outs using local organic meats and homemade goods and featuring local bands. The rustic farm store—which prominently displays Moriello’s own nature photography on its walls—sells the farm’s food products, including fresh apples, gourds, pumpkins, corn, peaches, apple cider, pies, and cider donuts. “You’re really just here to enjoy the natural beauty of things,” says Moriello of her farm. Hudson Valley residents are strongly encouraged to lend their support to Apple Hill this season and to take advantage of its prospects for fun, food, and communi-ty.

Every year on the First Saturday in October, the Village of Walden and the Walden Community Council host the annual Harvest Fest also known as Walden Day. Now in its 28th year, planning for Walden’s Harvest Fest 2014 is well under way. Harvest Fest is kicked off each year the night before with the Little Miss Walden Contest followed by Family Dance at the Teen Center in Wooster Grove. Harvest Fest itself is a full day of action-packed events, shopping, and food for the whole family. Admission is always free Walden’s Harvest Fest began in 1986 as a simple harvest celebration; now over 1,000 visitors and over 100 ven-dors attend the one-day event, travel-ing from neighboring states to expe-rience the extraordinary variety of Walden’s culture and entertainment. The Harvest Fest is produced by the Village of Walden and the Walden Community Council. Festival proceeds are used by the Walden Community Council to support community events and other local non-profit organiza-tions.

Walden Harvest Festival is Oct. 4

The frog-jumping contest is always one of the highlights.

Little Miss Walden and her court preside over the day's events.
