Kids and teachers alike enjoy this fun and educational tour which includes one of the few remaining Cider Mills in the state of New Jersey. The tour begins at the Melick Cider Press located one mile from Route 78, exit 24, in historic Oldwick. Our guide will demonstrate the old fashioned cider press, and each student will receive a sampling of our fresh cider.
The guide will also discuss the history of our Hunterdon County farm, which has been in the family more than two centuries. Students will also walk through the orchard to learn about various apple varieties, and each will be allowed to pick a few apples and select a small pumpkin before climbing aboard a special hay ride through the orchard.
$12.00 per student.
Teachers are free but do not receive apples or pumpkins.
