As one of the original orchards participating in the annual Franklin County Cider Days festival for the past 25 year, New Salem Preserves and Orchard hosts its Cider and Apple Festival with child-friendly apple pressing. Farm products, along with exhibits from local artisans, will be displayed within the courtyard of the cider mill. You will also have the ever-present breathtaking view of the Quabbin Reservoir and beyond. A robust offering of workshops both days (see schedule). From Rt. 2 (Exit 16), take Rt. 202 South to New Salem Center (about 7 miles). At blinking light turn left onto S. Main Street. Just follow the apple signs.
