While we’re still in November, Cider Hill Farm is already gearing up for fun December events. While the weather is getting colder, we’re ramping up the heat with fun things to do leading up to the holiday season.
Attend Story Time with Mrs. Claus
What better way to ring in the holiday season than Cider Hill Farm’s Story Time with Mrs. Claus? This great holiday activity, held on November 30 and December 1, 7, and 8, is a great time for your little ones to meet Mrs. Claus, where she’ll read favorite holiday stories. You will also get a chance to have your picture taken with the famous wife of Santa Claus and write letters to the big man and pop them in our North Pole mailbox. Each session is 45 minutes and limited to 35 children. Choose 9:15 - 10 am, 10:15 - 11 am, 11:15 am - 12 pm or 12:15 - 1 pm. Drink hot cocoa, eat some homemade kettle corn, and take a family photo on the wooden sleigh outside the farm store. Every child requires a ticket ($16/ticket) but adults can go for free.

Grab Holiday Essentials at the Farm Store
If you’re having a holiday party or just want some sweet treats, check out our farm store where we have everything you need from baked goods and drinks that are just in time for the winter season. Are you in the mood for some hot cider or hot chocolate? Then you’re in the right place as the farm store carries both. You’ll be able to cozy up on your couch with your favorite mug and enjoy the delicious taste of warm sweetness.
For those interested in even more sugary snacks, check out our bakery, where we sell whoopie pies, cookies, brownies, tea bread, coffee cake, muffins, scones, pies, and sticky buns. If you’d rather bake something yourself to bring to a special party, we also have ready-to-bake favorites from croissants, Danish, apple dumplings, and homemade cookie dough.
