A Look Ahead

Kite Day at Terhune Orchards

Terhune Orchards, 330 Cold Soil Road, Princeton

Saturday, May 4, 2019

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

The sky above Terhune Orchards will be filled with brightly colored kites in a variety of shapes and sizes as farm visitors enjoy our high-flying festival. Kite Day is a perfect time to explore the farm during our spring festival. Spring on the farm is one of the most beautiful and exciting seasons. All is ready for the bountiful growing season. Children of all ages (and adults too!) can join in the fun. Bring your own kite or choose a ready-made kite from the store. Whichever you choose, test fly your kite in our wide-open 10-acre pasture with all the farm animals looking on. We will have old-fashioned children’s games set up in our barnyard. See spring unfolding on a tractor-drawn wagon ride through the orchards. Our fields will be planted, our asparagus will be sprouting, our fruit trees and flowers will be blooming. Enjoy live country music with bands both Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
