Kick off the fall season with the Hard-Pressed Cider Fest at Eckert’s farm in Belleville, Illinois.

Some of the most incredible chefs in the region will serve samples of apple-infused dishes using homegrown apples, hard apple cider and sweet apple cider from the farm. You can also purchase mouthwatering products to keep you full all day long.

Participating establishments include Bagel Union, Bowood by Niche, Chicken Scratch, Sugarwitch, Switchgrass Spirits and Yolklore.

After you savor the flavors of the Cider Shed, enjoy yard games such as corn hole, giant Jenga and cider pong with family and friends.
