Cayuga Lake's east shore is hopping in October as four

unique agricultural enterprises join forces in their third

annual Fall Family Weekend, Oct. 14-15.


Bakers Acres, Indian Chimney Farm, King Ferry Winery and

the Plantsmen Nursery offer a diverse range of events and

activities to entertain and delight people of all ages.


Bakers Acres will host its annual Apple Fest, Oct. 14.

Activities include horse drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo,

mouth watering chicken barbeque, apple cider, apple

donuts, apple pies and apples to bring home.


Indian Chimney Farm, a unique small farm, offers an open

house, Saturday and Sunday, featuring alpacas, horses, and

other farm animals. The Alpaca Gift Shop offers luxurious

handcrafted alpaca products and gift items for everyone on

your list. Hand-spinning demonstrations, live eagles and

hawks from Cornell, and other activities will entertain

the children while the parents relax in the idyllic

setting. An antique farm tools museum and horse and pony

rides by Patchwork Therapeutic Riding Center add interest

for all ages.


King Ferry Winery is showcasing free tastings of their

award-winning Treleaven wines on Saturday and Sunday. On

Saturday, an ice cream truck from Cayuga Lake Creamery

will delight the child in everyone. On Sunday the winery

adds brick oven flat breads, desserts and a live band.


The Plantsmen Nursery is opening up their beautiful

gardens to the public. Plan to enjoy the fall colors of

their woods, fields, ponds, and wetlands. Unique garden

art, refreshments, live music, and a children’s play area

will bring joy to all. An end-of-year 25% off sale will

ensure everyone goes home with a special treasure for

their gardens.
