DELICIOUS GOODIES AWAIT YOUR TASTE BUDS.

I believe we can claim the largest gathering of sweets and eats in the area.
After a few hours of shopping, watching pioneer demonstrations, and playing children's games, you'll no doubt be ready to eat. Fortunately, the Johnny Appleseed Festival offers you plenty of options!

Food vendors at the Johnny Appleseed Festival are required to prepare their offerings using the methods employed during the mid-1800's, the period during which John Chapman lived. Cooking is done over wood or coal fires - electricity and propane are not permitted - and the foods that they prepare must be appropriate to the time period as well. So, you won't see elephant ears, fried Twinkies, or frozen ices in bright plastic cups. The food at the Johnny Appleseed Festival hearkens back to the days of the pioneers. Chicken, cooked over an open fire grill, ham and beans with freshly made cornbread. Grilled turkey legs and buffalo burgers and more.
