Welcome to the Dairyville Orchard Festival home page! October 15
will mark our fourteenth annual event! Make plans now to attend this exciting community event filled with great food,
music, children's activities, local produce and more!
Do you like to volunteer at worthwhile events?
Our entire event is organized by volunteers of all ages. We always need volunteers during set up, take down, and throughout
the day of the event. Please see the volunteer page for more
information on how you can become a volunteer!
Why is the Dairyville Orchard Festival so special? In fourteen years, the Festival has raised and
awarded $110,500 in scholarship monies. The event is a celebration of our local harvest season, allowing our residents an
opportunity to share our beautiful area and produce with all who attend.
One
of the many highlights of the festival is the Ag Store (you can’t miss the huge tent in the middle!) where festival
attendees can taste and buy California’s finest and freshest Walnuts, Almonds, dried Plums, Figs, Pecans and Pistachios.
You can also sample wonderful seasoned nuts, Walnettos, Jordan almonds, Sunbursts, local olive oils and the now famous
Dairyville Chocolate Dipped Prunes. You will want to shop early as they always run out of the thousands
of pounds of product they prepare for the day. Nuts and candies are available in bulk and in attractive
packaging for the perfect holiday gift!
Other Festival activities include live entertainment, lil’ farmers’ corner,
annual t-shirts, unique arts and crafts (over 60 vendors!), huge display of antique tractors and orchard equipment, fantastic
food, raffles and silent auction and more local produce! There is never an entry or parking fee! Just come and enjoy our celebration
of the local harvest season!
