Athol Orchard School | Farm-to-Table Events & Workshops

At Athol Orchards, we believe that "sharing knowledge and the many wonders of the world" is a vital part of our harvest. Our Orchard School and Special Events are designed to help you leave the fast-paced world behind, put your cell phone away, and grab the hands of your loved ones as you step into the beauty of our antique apple farm.

Learn the Art of the Orchard:

From becoming an Apple Steward in our Grafting 101 workshops to mastering the "pumpkin patch to pie" process, our classes offer hands-on instruction in the skills of the past. Whether you are learning the holistic art of pruning or the history of maple sugaring, you’ll leave with the reward of a job well done.

Experience the Harvest:

Join us for our signature Farm-to-Table events, such as our "History Harvest" dinners and seasonal orchard tours. These events are a celebration of our historical apple varieties, nurtured by mountain soil and spring water, served under the canopy of the very trees that provided the bounty.

Group Packages: We offer group booking options for those looking to experience the orchard together.
Artisan Workshops: We frequently host guest instructors, like local sourdough bakers, to bring a diverse range of heritage skills to our community.
Preservation Mission: Every ticket supports our work in preserving rare and historical apple varieties for future generations.
