Apple Day Buying Guide

First organized in 1990 by the Common Ground organization, Apple Day is the annual celebration of apples and its symbolism for our cultural traditions in nature.  Apple Day is traditionally held on October 21, but in recent years has moved to whatever weekend is closest to this date.  The idea is for each local community to host its own Apple Day in a orchard to promote local distinctiveness.

Apple Day Activities

In additional to the ever popular flea market, competitions are held to encourage participation.  The most famous activity for Apple Day is The Longest Peel Competition , which is divided into hand peeling and machine peeling .
