🍎 Cornell Guide | Apple Harvest Festival 🍂

The annual Apple Fest is back — and better than ever! 🎉 This year’s layout and vendor setups are a big upgrade from last year. Super fun to explore, but go early to avoid long lines! ⏳ Many of these vendors also regularly sell at the Farmers’ Market, so don’t worry if you miss it 😉 My Personal Picks: 🍩 Fresh Doughnuts Grab one or two fresh—they’re best hot! Better than cider doughnuts (which are heavier on cinnamon and no glaze). 🍺 Finger Lakes Cider House The best cider in Ithaca IMO! $2 tasting = totally worth it. 🍫 Truffle Lady Grey A must-try if you love Earl Grey and lavender — delicate and delicious! 🖼️ Local Art & Crafts Beautiful little paintings and handmade goods 🎨 🍯 Maple Syrup I buy some every year — sweet, local, and perfect! 🌮 Zocalo The best Mexican food in town! Love their Diablo sauce if you like spice 🔥 (Other food notes: Silo fried chicken = 👍, Thai Basil = overrated 🥲 Proceed with caution if you know real Thai cuisine.) 🥜 Peanut Butter Stand A must for PB lovers! Lots of samples — the white chocolate one is incredible. 🍋 Interactive Lemonade Stand The only one with bubble machines overhead 🫧—fun, festive, and very Halloween-wizard-friendly! 🧙♂️ 🥾 Heading back to campus? Take the Cascadilla Gorge Trail — gorgeous fall views and a great glute workout! 🍑💪 Have you been to Apple Fest?
