Honeycrisp Hootenanny 2011

3rd Annual Honeycrisp Hootenanny

This year’s theme is ‘Una Manzana’ — One Apple, a gesture towards our relationship with the orchard and each other.  We’re going to be fiesta-ing ’til the proverbial cows come home.

Please join us!

Entertainment will start approximately around 12pm with music by ‘Some People’s Kids.’  Percussion instruments will be provided to any brave soul looking to participate in a ditty or two.

The La Crosse Twirlers will be square dancing up a storm, El Nino style, from 4pm to 6pm.

Finally, Matt Ray and those Damn Horses are riding in from Minneapolis to hang and play until 9pm.  At that point, we open it up to everyone for a communal jam session.  Bring an instrument, bring 5 instruments!  The more the merrier!

Free caramel apple given to anyone in a luchador mask.

We will be serving Mexican fare all day long as well as our Ecker’s Apple Farm favorites: caramel apples, caramel apple pies, turnovers, and Queen’s Apples.

Bring the whole family!  Kids dig the frisbee field and we’ll be taking train rides on the Honeycrisp Express hourly!

We’ll be running deals on Honeycrisp all day long.  Get your fix before winter gets here, only 77 days until Christmas amigos!

Ecker’s Apple Farm is gearing up for another apple season!  The early varieties are in and include Zestar!, Paula Reds, and organic State Fair!  Summer’s almost over but the pies are just heating up.  Come out and visit us at the farm or see us Friday nights at the Cameron Park Market, downtown La Crosse, or Saturday mornings at the Winona Market, Winona, MN.

We’ve recently extracted honey from our bee hives.  The honey has a smooth, light texture and is rich with floral overtones from the 2010 apple blossom pollination.  Honey bears available for a short time in 6 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz sizes.
