Autumn Harvest Festival
Weekends (Saturday & Sunday)
September 8 - October 21, 2007
10 a.m. - 5 p.m
 Whether you're continuing a family tradition or starting a new one this fall, The Elegant Farmer offers a family fun apple and pumpkin picking farm experience at its popular Autumn Harvest Festival weekends in September and October . Welcomed by the famous Smilin' Barn, kids get a chance to head to the farm's orchard and pick 12 varieties of apples right from the tree or stroll over to the patch to select pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Featuring favorites like Granny, Red Delicious, Empire, Cortland and Jonathan apples, The Elegant Farmer also has the Ida Red apples featured in their famed Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag®.
 Enjoy Southeast Wisconsin's beautiful fall colors aboard a tractor-pulled hayride or vintage trolley ride before or after enjoying the bounty of food offerings in The Elegant Farmer's Farm Kitchen, Bakery and Deli. The East Troy Electric Railroad's turn-of-the-century trolley departs from and returning to The Elegant Farmer Depot every 45 minutes from 11:40 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. The 20 minute hayrides are $1 for kids and $3 for adults and 30 minute trolley ride tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for children 3-12 years of age.
"This year's crop and varieties will be one of our best featuring a bounty of sweet and tart flavors," tells The Elegant Farmer owner, John Bauer. "The real delight for us each year is seeing the kids running from tree to tree picking, tasting and laughing. It's a magical time on the farm creating wonderful memories for generations of families each year."
 Adding to the fun is the make-your-own caramel apple offered along with BBQ Pulled Pork sandwiches, slices of pie a la mode and hot buttered apple cider. These delicious jumbo apples are big enough to share, but you don't have to. Take a rest on the hay bales while telling your kids or grandkids about your own childhood memories.
A wonderful shopping experience, The Elegant Farmer offers award winning specialties in its Farm Kitchen Bakery, Deli & Market including its famed Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag and delicious CiderBaked Ham, fruity applesauces, jumbo muffins & cookies, Blue Ribbon Cheeses and seasonal fruits & vegetables.
