🧹 Learn Broom-Making at Wheeler's Orchard Fall Festival – November 14

Wheeler's Orchard & Vineyard is hosting a hands-on Fall Festival that brings together family crafts, live music, and seasonal celebration on the 200-acre farm in Dunlap. The event invites visitors of all ages to step away from screens and into a working agritourism experience where they can make something tangible to take home.

🎯 What to Expect

The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on November 14, 2026, and centers on a broom-making workshop led by The Broom Maker. 🪡 Participants pay $40 per broom to learn the craft and walk away with a handmade broom-a gift idea that stands out from typical holiday shopping. The experience appeals to moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, and children, making it a multi-generational outing.

Beyond the workshop, the day includes surprise vendors, food, hands-on demonstrations, and bluegrass music in the late afternoon. ✨ The combination of skill-building, live entertainment, and farm atmosphere creates a full afternoon rather than a quick stop.

💡 Why It Matters

Fall festivals that blend education, craft, and community are increasingly rare in a digital age. 🍂 This event taps into a growing interest in handmade goods and experiential activities-especially among families seeking alternatives to mall shopping. The broom-making workshop, in particular, connects visitors to a traditional craft while supporting local agritourism and small-business partnerships in the region.
