2026 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, Owner, begins each event with a welcome and lighthearted talk on the day’s theme – sharing 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.

Thanksgiving Tastings
Tickets will be released on Thursday, October 1st at 5:00pm.
Our Thanksgiving Tasting is our Hurd Orchards expression of our deep appreciation for the abundance that this gentle land provides. It is a celebration through flavor and
gathering and presentation of the inspiration that fills our days as fruit growers, and our thought to weave our heritage into our future.
Our delightful menu of many recipes is shaped by our harvest, and given life with the springboard of our creativity. Served from serving tables in our candlelit barn and
beside our woodstove in the coziness of our market. A recipe booklet is provided.
