Students, staff and parents were given a guided wagon tour of the apple orchard, followed by apple picking and a tour of the farm.

Each visitor was given a bag to fill with apples that they hand-picked from the orchard.

After proceeding to the “party barn,” they were given a narrated demonstration of how Abbott makes their freshly pressed apple cider along with a hands-on presentation about the crops they grow and what each are used for.

Even as temperatures grew colder and it started to snow, there was nothing but smiles at Abbott Farms.
