“Harvest is the time to enjoy autumn’s fresh air with friends and family, acknowledging all that the seasons provide us. Harvest Festival starts out with a morning of gentle apple picking in the historic orchard, where we’ll harvest fruit while enjoying the Eastern European harmonies of Kitka’s Women’s Ensemble and Russian House Kedry. The celebration then moves to the historic Fort Ross compound, where we’ll enjoy the old-world charm of the 19th century Russian settlement.
