Apple Pie Contest

Enter a pie into our Apple Pie Contest! This is an annual tradition that gives back to the community. Each pie will be judged by a panel, and then sold by the slice by the Cove Garden Ruritans to raise funds for their philanthropic projects.

The winner of the pie contest will be announced at 1:30pm. The first place prize is a $100 gift certificate from Vintage Virginia Apples and Albemarle CiderWorks. 

To pre-register, please email Effie@AlbemarleCiderWorks.com (and include a copy of your recipe, if you need it to be printed)
