Dummerston baker Annie Sherman leads a pie-making lesson at an orchard that preserves heirloom apple varieties.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The Heirloom Apple Pie Workshop brings two decisions into the same lesson: how to make a crust and which apples to put inside it. Annie Sherman leads the class at Scott Farm on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
Participants will make pie while learning about crust preparation and apples suited to the filling. It is a chance to work on both parts with guidance, rather than simply follow a finished recipe. The workshop description does not specify the apple varieties or a particular crust method.
Sherman is a Dummerston baker whose apple pies have won prizes over the years. She began by watching her mother bake and later worked at The Bakery in West Dover before pursuing a career in healthcare. She plans to share the baking skills she has developed along the way.

Apple selection is especially fitting at Scott Farm, where preserving heirloom varieties is part of the orchard’s work. The farm describes heirlooms as open-pollinated varieties passed down over generations and credits the growers and gardeners who kept them in existence.
Scott Farm’s orchard list includes apples such as Ashmead’s Kernel and Knobbed Russet, though a listing in the orchard does not mean a variety will be available at the workshop or farm market. The farm notes that some varieties grow on only a few trees or branches, and availability changes with harvests.
