Saturday, October 6 & Sunday, October 7. 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

You don't need to leave town to visit a farm this harvest weekend. Come to the Rio Grande Botanic Garden's Heritage Farm to sample the fruits, vegetables, smells, tastes and sounds of the fall harvest. Find out how cider is made and sample our fresh cider pressed on-site. Docents will be stationed at kitchen garden, orchard, vineyard and house with demonstrations and interpretive activites, crafts and games; and old-time bands will provide music. The moon will rise over the Sandias just after 6:00 pm Saturday night.

On Saturday, October 6th, 11:00am to 12:00pm and 1:00 to 2:00pm, Bluegrass Odyssey will perform their 'high-energy bluegrass' music at the farmhouse. From 12:00 to 1:00pm. the Muddy River String Band will be playing a variety of traditional tunes, including Celtic, gospel and bluegrass.
