So very excited for tomorrow!🍂🍎💚 Visit Apple Butter Festival, WV for all of the details and come and see us!

🍎✨ WE. ARE. IN. LOVE.

Seriously. We knew it was going to be beautiful, but seeing it all come together? WOW. Just WOW.

We are beyond excited to introduce our brand-new Apple Butter Festival, WV archway at the entrance to Berkeley Springs State Park!

Apple trees loaded with beautiful red apples, woodland creatures tucked among the branches, baskets overflowing with fruit, and a gorgeous welcome to the heart of the Festival. Every time we look at it, we notice another little detail, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out!

This project was dreamed up by the Berkeley Springs-Morgan Co Chamber of Commerce, made possible with support from a grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, designed by the talented Ed Mooney, and brought to life by the wonderful folks at Heritage Woodsmith, who had the entire family working together to make this beautiful creation a reality! How special is that?! ❤️

And here's something that makes it even better: this is just the beginning! Our beautiful archway will return to welcome visitors to the Apple Butter Festival year after year, and when it's not Festival time, it'll have a home at the Chamber office.

We have a feeling this is going to become one of the most photographed spots at the Festival. So grab your family, your friends, or whoever happens to be standing nearby, and take a selfie. Or seven. We certainly won't judge! 📸🍎

Come see it for yourself at the 51st Annual Apple Butter Festival, October 9–11! We can't wait to welcome you!

Planning your visit? Our full Schedule of Events, Festival Map, and Shuttle Map are pinned to the top of our page and are also available to download from our website.

And finally, we have some very special thank-yous to share. ❤️

🍎 To the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation: Thank you for believing in this project and helping us turn an idea into something truly wonderful. We couldn't have done it without your support!

🍎 To Ed Mooney: I came to you with an idea to create something beautiful to welcome visitors to the Festival, and you imagined what that could be! You took my little idea and turned it into this wonderful, whimsical design, filled with so much personality and charm. Thank you for seeing the possibilities and dreaming up something more beautiful than I could have imagined!

🍎 To Arthur and the entire family at Heritage Woodsmith: You took Ed's design and RAN with it! The creativity, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and love that your whole family poured into this project are evident in every little piece. You brought our vision to life, and we couldn't be happier with the result!

What started as an idea has become something we get to share with our community for years to come. And we are SO EXCITED!!!!! 🍎❤️

Highlighting some of our products that will be available at the festival this weekend (Apple Butter Festival, WV)!

If you buy a product from us that has beeswax in the ingredient list, that beeswax comes straight from West Virginia bees over at Seville Lane Apiary! 🐝 It has been that way since day one and it’s one of my favorite things to share about our handcrafted products ☝️

Right now we’ve got our Mountain Mint Lip Balm, Magnesium Lotion, and Fall Scented and Shaped Wax Melts—all courtesy of our wild and wonderful WV bees💛

Place orders at www.mountainrootessentials.com (or message me for local pickups) OR come on out to Apple Butter Festival this weekend to pick some up in person! 🛍️
