Nothing says "Autumn is really here" like wooden bins full of just-picked apples and bottles of freshly pressed cider. These wonderful icons of the season will be in abundance at this annual fest, which brings a variety of pommes from upstate producers to the farm's apple orchard. Chow down on a slice of an aromatic 8' x 8' apple cobbler ($3), listen to a country & western band, take a hayride ($2) or sup the good stuff from Jericho Cider Mill (glass $1.25, quart $3, half gallon $4.50, gallon $7.75). There's also a cider-pressing demonstration, where you can crank a hand-turn press, but beware of yellow jackets—they're attracted to the sweetness and pack quite a sting.
