Apple Core & More: A Family Cider Creation Experience
Step into a cherished family tradition on the shores of Lake Barkley with Apple Core & More. This isn't just a festival; it’s a hands-on learning experience where your family will discover the craft of making homemade apple cider.
Hosted by our family, who have been making cider on this land for generations, you'll gain insider knowledge of the entire process. We’ll guide you through each step, starting with how to select the perfect apples from our local orchards—a key to great flavor. You'll get your hands dirty as you sort, wash, and then use our traditional press to crush and squeeze the apples into sweet, fresh cider. This experience connects you to the deep-rooted agricultural history of the region and the simple, rewarding pleasure of creating something from scratch.
Beyond the cider press, we've created a day of pure, nostalgic family fun. Enjoy classic yard games, munch on warm apple cider donuts, sip on apple slushies, and savor our famous homemade apple pie.
Your family will leave with a bottle of your very own handmade cider and a deeper appreciation for this timeless fall tradition. It's an opportunity to unplug, connect, and make lasting memories in the heart of Kentucky.
