2025 Calendar of Events
Thematic Luncheons & Programs at Hurd Orchards are hosted in our 1800s English Threshing Barn, nestled between a historic Sweet Cherry Orchard.
Amy Machamer, our Founder & Owner, precedes each event with a welcome and lighthearted talk on the day’s theme – sharing her insights on our land, farm and how we interpret each theme for our guests.
Each menu is designed to highlight the bounty of each season, presented in farm fashion – creating an outstanding culinary experience.
Find yourself immersed in floral displays, we use fine antique china and silverware, and tables adorned with authentic and unique linens.
