Fort Dodge, IA (PRWEB) August 31, 2015 -- The Community Orchard lays on hillsides and scenically borders the Des Moines River just outside of Fort Dodge, Iowa. The beautiful landscape is just one of the features that makes this a destination stop since it opened in 1952.
This year visitors will be welcomed by the new Farmhouse Kitchen Apple Orchard Café that features favorites like Scarecrow Soup and Chicken Salad Croissants along with fresh baked apple pies, turnovers and dumplings. Lunch is served here all week long from 11 am to 2:30 pm. Bookings for receptions, parties and other social events are also welcomed.
A new feature this year is located beside the Back 40 Playground. “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin” Corn Maze will be open to the public September 25th. The Community Orchard has been selected to be the exclusive regional site to host the nationally recognized “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” Program. All ages will have fun learning about the story of Spookley the Square Pumpkin along with National Bully Prevention Month. Area schools are encouraged to schedule tours for their students to learn more about the bully prevention program.
The season is filled with events and activities which are all published on the Community Orchard calendar.
