High Flying Family Fun on Kite Day

Our annual tradition to welcome spring at Terhune Orchards is Kite Day. This soaring spring festival is a perfect time to explore the farm during one of its most beautiful seasons.

Children can use their imaginations to make and decorate their own kites. We use a kite design that is guaranteed to fly! Choose from a colorful assortment of pre-made kits in the form of birds, butterflies, and more. Or, bring your favorite kite from home. Whichever kite you choose, there will be a rainbow of colors in every shape and size floating through the air above our orchards. If we are in luck the apple trees will be in bloom, too.

Listen to the sounds of country music as your kite dances in the wind. Local bands will play from 12pm-4pm: Meghan Carey on Saturday and Tookany Creek on Sunday.

Join in the fun of old-fashioned games and children’s activities in the barnyard such as Hopscotch, hula hoop the horse – have a great time playing on the farm. Don’t miss having have a hop in the Hippity Hop Corral or taking splash in a Ducky Race.

Take a pony ride and have a special Pet & Play Animal Experience – special hands-on play time with cute, cuddly and very friendly sheep, goats, rabbits and chickens. (Not included in admission)

The sheep will be shorn on Saturday at 1pm and the children can take home a piece of real fleece. Get to know some of our other animals in the barnyard while you visit. Meet our barnyard friends, dwarf Nigerian goats, donkeys, and our bunny.

Hungry kite fliers will find farm fresh lunch and snacks at Pam’s Food Tent. Sample Terhune Orchards’ spring menu items including BBQ chicken, country style chili, salads and fresh baked pies. Our famous apple cider donuts and fresh pressed apple cider make every visit to the farm complete.

Adults can enjoy a visit to our Wine Orchard where Terhune’s own eighteen varieties of wine are available for tasting. Tasting flights, wine by the glass and wine slushie will be available to toast to Spring.

There is nothing like spring on the farm. Join us this spring weekend to enjoy our freshly planted fields, fruit trees and flowers blooming, vegetables sprouting, the fresh air and beauty of all the season has to offer outdoors.
