This year’s event will be fully outdoors and feature two well beloved apple lovers and social media stars:

- Sean Turley  is a lifelong fruit enthusiast and an amateur apple picker and sleuth. Every Fall, Sean dedicated himself to locating and devouring as many of Maine’s heritage and wild apple varietals as possible. Sean posts his finds on Instagram @therighteousrusset. 

Guests will also learn about the enlightening history of Scott Farm orchard and some of its 130 varieties of ecologically grown fruits. There will be apple tastings as well as activities for families. 

After the talk and tasting, guests can fill totes with the heirlooms they like best, to purchase and take home, along with freshly pressed heirloom cider. 

Food vendors will be cooking so that guests can enjoy lunch at picnic table overlooking the Farm's scenic mill ponds, barns, and stone walls.. New kids' activities this year include apple paint prints, corn hole, Jenga and more! The pick-your-own orchard and Farm Market will also be open.
