Until Sunday, October 7th
Queens County Farm Museum 73-50 Little Neck Pkwy, between 73rd Rd and 74th Ave
Nothing says “Autumn is really here, mofo” like wooden bins full of just-picked apples and bottles of freshly pressed cider. These icons of the season will be in abundance at this annual festival. Chow down on a slice of an aromatic eight-by-eight-foot apple cobbler ($3), listen to a country & western band, take a hayride ($2) or sup the good stuff from Jericho Cider Mill (glass $1.25, quart $3, half gallon $4.50, gallon $7.75). There’s also a cider-pressing demonstration, where you can crank a hand-turn press, but beware of yellow jackets—they’re attracted to the sweetness and pack quite a sting.
