Heirloom Apple Day | Scott Farm Orchard

Every Year, Scott Farm welcomes visitors of all ages, from near and far, for Heirloom Apple Day-a one-day celebration of apples of all shapes, colors, tastes and their histories! Mark your calendars! This year, join Scott Farm on Sunday, October 13th, 2024 for their 21st Annual Heirloom Apple Day.

Come celebrate with Scott Farm, rain or shine, as they showcase many of the over 130 varieties grown on the farm – fresh, baked, and squeezed!

This year promises to be extra special, as Scott Farm will be hosting orchardist, pomologist, and "apple explorer" John Bunker as the keynote speaker. An expert on American apples and their history, he is one of the founders of the mail-order nursery Fedco Trees, a division of the cooperative Fedco Seeds. For most of his life, Bunker has worked to preserve rare old apple varieties from across Maine and the New England region. In 2012, he founded the Maine Heritage Orchard in Unity, Me., a ten-acre preservation educational orchard of Maine's historic apple and pear varieties.
