Join us for the 25th Annual Apple Butter Festival at Wade's Mill (c.1750), Virginia's oldest, continuously operating commercial grist mill.
We'll be making apple butter the old-fashioned way, slow simmered in a 130+ year old copper pot over an open fire. Take a turn stirring with the long-handled paddle and take home a fresh jar.
Enjoy demonstrations and handcrafted work by local artisans and craftspeople and find unique gifts.
Explore Wade’s Mill’s three floors of historic milling equipment and museum displays. Our 100% natural flours, grits, cornmeals and mixes will be available in the Mill Shop along with a curated selection of local food products and gifts.
Wade's Mill Apple Butter Festival is a great family day out!
Free admission and parking.
