Join local photographer, Cindy McEnery, and our team for an exciting 90 minute photo tour of Apple Hill Farm. We’ll work with you to find all the best spots to capture great photos of our beautiful landscape and our amazing animals — donkeys, goats, horses, and, of course, alpacas! Cindy will offer tips and suggestions on ways to get those special shots. Bring your iPhone, iPad, or digital camera. All levels of photographers are welcome.

The $40 fee is for ONE date of your choice. This tour is rain or shine, so come prepared with your rain gear!
Pre-registration is required. We will limit groups to no more than 6 people so everyone can get personalized feedback.
Be sure to:
– wear comfortable shoes as we’ll be walking in fields and over hills
-wear a hat and sunscreen
-Bring rain gear for yourself and your camera
-bring a water bottle
– make sure your camera or phone battery is charged and ready to go!

As one of the world’s most popular herbal remedies, ginseng is revered in China, where its roots have been consumed for its purported immune-system enhancing and energy-boosting qualities for millenia. While large scale plantations of shade-cultivated ginseng are grown in Wisconsin and Ontario for export to Asia, the cryptic, shade-loving plant grows naturally in the rich mountain forests of western North Carolina. Each fall, locals hit the woods in search of the plant to dig its unique root, which can fetch up to $1,000 per pound. Overharvest and poaching are now threatening this native plant and the traditions that many in the region hold dear. In his presentation, “Roots in Appalachiaâ€, Dr. Jim Hamilton will discuss the significance of ginseng to western North Carolina, its role in local and global markets, and other cultural nuances of ‘seng.

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day - the only holiday that encourages people to babble like buccaneers for the sheer, anarchic fun of it. It’s been celebrated by millions of people on all seven continents and even on the International Space Station! The theatre will be screening the best pirate film ever so let’s celebrate with the Dred Pirate Roberts, practice our pirate jargon, and don your dashing pirate garb. ARRRRG!
About The Princess Bride:
While home sick in bed, a young boy's grandfather reads him the story of a farmboy-turned-pirate who encounters numerous obstacles, enemies and allies in his quest to be reunited with his true love. This Rob Reiner classic delivers a charmingly quirky and hilarious film that regularly appears on “best of†lists ever since the film first screened in 1987.

If you’ve never understood the concept of the term, "hangry," you’ll get it after seeing this delightfully fun, romp of a show. A vacationing couple decides to splurge and celebrate their anniversary at a Greek restaurant in Palm Springs. To make sure their meal is worth it they decide to not eat anything all day until they get to the restaurant. And, when a somewhat mis-focused, intrusive waiter insinuates his way into their meal and their lives it becomes a tasty recipe for mayhem.
