Then there are the apples, available by the bag, basket, and bushel from Skyline Cold Storage and at roadside stands that crowd the highway from the eastern outskirts of the village to the edge of Shenandoah National Park just a few miles away. Apple butter, apple jelly, and apple cider, some of it fresh pressed at Elmer Atkins’ cider mill up in a hollow overlooking town, are sold at the gift shops of Sperryville, and at Country Manor, visitors can watch while apple butter is made the old fashioned way, an hours long process of constant stirring and slow cooking in a great iron kettle over a wood fire.
Apples are a mainstay of Rappahannock County’s agricultural economy and here delicious is more than a variety: “In Washington State, they grow apples for looks; in Rappahannock, we grow 'em for taste!" say the local orchardists.
The Festival opens from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2. Parking and admission are free. Food aplenty will be available from one end of Sperryville to the other, everything from the traditional - cotton candy, barbecue ribs and chicken, country ham sandwiches, and hamburgers and hotdogs grilled by the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department - to the not-so-traditional - shishkebabs and Italian sausage, shiitake mushrooms, and the best subs this side of Baltimore at the Hazel Mountain Pub.
