Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside in Trafalgar lies Apple Works, a local orchard and autumn tradition. As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, this beloved orchard becomes a destination for fall fun.
At Apple Works, you can savor delicious apple treats, play on a hay bale mountain, navigate the corn maze, choose your own pumpkin from the patch and, ultimately, make unforgettable fall memories.
Beyond the fall attractions and delicious apples, you can also shop for locally made treasures in the vintage barn, like cozy candles and unique decor.
For kids, a visit to Apple Works is an adventure. The petting zoo offers the opportunity to meet and feed a variety of friendly animals. Kids can also get face paint, ride a pony, play in the fall-themed playground and more.
Food trucks will be ready to serve both classic eats and seasonal favorites like Apple Works' own apple cider slushies, apple dumplings and homemade ice cream.
Apple Works is not just an orchard; it's the perfect fall backdrop to make family memories.
