appleFEST EVERY SEPTEMBER

Throughout September, our families unite in a simple, heartfelt effort: connecting friends, family, and neighbors with a taste of the Vermont harvest. For just $12, supporters receive a 5-pound bag of delicious Empire apples, freshly sourced from Sunrise Orchards. Every single purchase is a direct contribution, making this sale a simple, sweet, and meaningful way for our entire community to invest directly in the students and the mission of Oneness-Family School.

MAple Syrup Too!

As a special limited item this Apple Fest, we are selling quart jugs of 100% Pure Vermont Maple Syrup, freshly-tapped this year by Trade Winds Farm, for $25 each. Order your maple syrup now, while supplies last!

How It Works

Ordering Your Apples

Apple pre-orders are now CLOSED. We will have a few bags available for purchase at Apple Fest this Saturday (10 am, 1 pm)!

Pay Your Apples Forward

In addition to purchasing apples to take home or deliver to your friends and family, there is also the option to buy a bag of apples for donation to DC Central Kitchen, is a nationally recognized “community kitchen” that receives food from around Washington, D.C., and uses it as a tool to train unemployed adults to develop work skills while providing thousands of meals for local service agencies in the process.

We encourage Oneness families to reach out to their friends and neighbors about purchasing apples to support a great cause!

Picking Up Your Apples

Families are invited to pick up their apples from our lower school campus at the Apple Fest on Saturday, October 5, and distribute them to their communities! For those who can’t make it on Saturday, apples will be available for pick-up at the Lower School on Monday, October 7

The school will arrange delivery of all apple donations to DC Central Kitchen.

Apple Fest FOR ALL

Our beloved annual fall fair, Apple Fest, is back! We hope your family will join us on Saturday, October 5 and enjoy all of the Oneness family favorites–the giant slide, face painting, cornhole and so much more!
