Grab your shovel and join us for our Annual Potato Harvest! Start your morning off with a Pancake Breakfast at Henway Hard Cider topped with fresh fruit from our orchards, then take a wagon ride to the potato field to dig for your potato treasures in our U-dig field.  We will also have peaches and sunflowers for picking this weekend!

Did you know that most potatoes in stores are last year’s harvest? You will be amazed by the flavor and texture of fresh potatoes! Weather permitting, we will even “rip” some rows with the tractor to make the hunting easier. Kids love to see the tractor working the field. After you dig your potatoes, join us in the Roosteraunt Concession Window for  hot dog or BBQ lunch.
