2:00 PM - Tour of Bauman’s Apple Butter Factory (with lunch preceding at noon)

 Would you like to taste an apple cider slushie or some authentic apple butter and other fruit butters on a cracker?  Then come join us for a midweek tour of the Bauman Family Factory at 116 Hoffmansville Road in Sassamansville. We’ll visit and sample a few of the Bauman’s all-natural products in a tour at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17.   

During the visit to Bauman’s, we’ll learn about the traditional products which this Pennsylvania Dutch family-owned business has been producing since 1892. We’ll see how the factory produces some of their 18 varieties of fruit butters (most well-known is apple butter), along with applesauce, apple cider and other condiments.

Bauman explains on their website, that their products are made using old-fashioned recipes - no pectin, thickeners, preservatives, or additives are used. They say they use local, Pennsylvania grown produce whenever possible and support many small farms and orchards.

Please note that the tour is free but the factory is not suitable for anyone who has difficulty with walking, with single steps on the first floor areas and a flight of stairs up to the second floor where the products are bottled and labeled. 

You are also invited to join us for lunch earlier at Noon at the New Pennsburg Diner, 321 Pottstown Ave., Pennsburg. The restaurant is handicapped accessible. Please let Maryanne or Louise know if you can join us for lunch and/or the factory tour.
