PLEASE HELP RECYCLE!

Drop off your plastic bags and canning jars at the orchard and we'll re-use them!

We're always looking for wagons for people to use when they go to our pumpkin patch - feel free to drop off your old or un-used wagons at the orchard!

We're also happy to take any picnic tables you're getting rid of - even if it's just the 'bones' of the table.

Thanks!

Savor & Sample – 2010 – at Lapacek’s Orchard!

Yes, the news in the paper’s and the word on the street is true.  Lapacek’s Orchard is the host of this year’s Columbia Counties Savor & Sample Fest.  What is the Savor and Sample Fest?  Well… we’re hoping to help you rediscover the benefits of buying and eating locally grown food.

Features of the fest:

  • Meander around the orchard
    • Grab a map and if you’re in the mood I have scavenger hunts – both photo and scouting ones
  • Taste my Uncle Chuck’s Booyah Stew made from almost all locally grown products (almost…)
    • Chicken from Lundeen’s Farm
    • Green Beans and Carrots from Dorothy Priske
    • Onions, Corn, Cabbage, Tomato Juice, Potato’s and Beef from Lapacek’s
    • Celery & Peas from our local Piggly Wiggly
    • My uncle and cousin came yesterday to start the stew
    • And, it’s not 7:00 yet and they’re already here getting the stew going.
  • Cooking Demo’s
