Apple Day at the Historic Stewart Farm - September 25th

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Coastal Realty Ltd.

What and where is the Stewart Farm?  

The Stewart Farm was settled in the 1880's along the Nicomekl River on what is now Crescent Road in Surrey (on your way to Crescent Beach from the highway) in the Elgin Heritage Park.   It was operated for 60 years as a hay farm and the farmhouse is a wonderful example of Victorian rural architecture.    It has be completely restored and furnished to offer its' visitors a glimpse back in time to the days of horse drawn farm tools, hand churned butter and wood stove cooking.   Guided tours are offered by staff and volunteers dressed in Victorian costume of the furnished farmhouse, pole barn with agricultural tools and machinery, boathouse, threshing shed, root cellar, and heritage gardens and orchard.

                              Apple Day - September 25th, 2010

The one thing I miss about moving to Florida from Massachusetts is apple picking in the Fall. We had a great old orchard in the center of our town and sometimes my wife would take the kids after school for an hour of running around looking for the "best" tree then eating the nice healthy snack and sometimes we'd go as a family on the weekends. The best part was the smell of apples baking in the oven... apple crisp, apple brownie, apple pie, baked apples, and of course caramel and/or candied apples.

Got to go, my mouth is watering.
