Thank you for a great 2008 Season with many exciting events planned including Autumn in the Country, Apple Butter Stir, Jack-o'-Lantern Jamboree and Holmberg's Holiday Brunch.

The Orchard Store is full of fun Halloween scarecrows and table decorations, rustic quilted table runners; fall garlands, candle rings and wreaths; towels by Raghu; quilted coasters, table toppers and bell pulls by local designer Ellie; handmade soaps by Wildwind Soap Co. of Hanley Falls; faux antique treenware and plenty of candles, coffees, jams, jellies and soup, bread and muffin mixes. We invite you to sit a spell on the porch and savor a piece of fresh-baked cinnamon-laced apple crisp.

Daily activities at Holmberg Orchard include juicy apple samples, build-your-own scarecrow, the boat yard with a boatload of corn and haystack for the kids.

Weekends are packed with full activities for the entire family. Take a wagon ride through the apple orchard or a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and search for the perfect pumpkin. Specific dates are listed on our Web site or newsletter.

The Apple Core Lunch Stand is open on weekends for you to enjoy an old-fashioned skin-on hot dog or a barbecue made from our secret recipe. Add a hot cup of soup and a piece of fresh apple crisp to complete your lunch.

We thank our many customers who have visited Holmberg Orchard since we began in 1987. A trip to Holmberg's has become a family tradition for many of you. We look forward to your visit this fall!
