Becker Farms Apple Thief Weekend

Becker Farms continues its 130 year celebration of the Becker Family Farm with ongoing activities to kick-off the Fall Fun season along with Apple Thief Weekend, a mix of hard ciders with house brewed beers, on Saturday, August 23rd and Sunday, August 24th. Attractions are free from 11am – 3pm this weekend only.

Settled in 1894 by German immigrant, Julius Becker, and his wife Augusta Dettbarn, the two acquired a 100-acre farm in Gasport, NY. The farm, which now spans 340 acres, offers both U-PICK and pre-picked fruits, vegetables, grapes, a large children’s area with farm animals, a winery, a brew house, and two event spaces for weddings and other events. The original house now functions as a store selling produce, baked goods, jams, jellies, and other items. Now reaching six generations of the Becker family,

“What a testament to the Becker Family tradition,” said Oscar Vizcarra, current owner and husband to Mindy of the Becker family line, “continuing into 131 years, we are proud to offer farm family fun to thousands of guests who visit us every year.”

Apple Thief Weekend includes free access to 340 acres of beautifully landscaped countryside and fresh air along with access to enjoy comfort food, drink, and socializing at the Farm Market, Beer Garden, and Brew Pub. Families and children can enjoy unlimited wagon rides in the Pumpkin Fiesta, hayrides, visit the playground, petting zoo, and play on the giant jumping pillow.

“Apple Thief Weekend is a two-day celebration packed with free admission and free kids’ attractions – it’s a steal,” says Amanda Vizcarra, 5th generation family member. She continues, “Adults can enjoy their $5 pint of Apple Thief, Sweet Thief, or Grape Thief brew while the kids can enjoy Fall activities for free. What better way to sneak in some late summer fun before Fall officially begins!”
