2024 Harvest Festival at the Knauss Homestead

It’s Time to Get Ready for the 2024 Harvest Festival at the Knauss Homestead!

What is the Harvest Festival?

The Annual Harvest Festival at the Knauss Homestead is one of four annual events we hold to raise money for the ongoing restoration, preservation, and protection of our 1777 revolutionary war era farm that  is the ancestral home of Sebastian Knauss, one of the founders of Emmaus and an instrumental leader in establishing the Moravian Church in this area. The homestead is maintained now by descendants and dedicated members of the Knauss Homestead Preservation Society.

We bring in around 50 local artisans, crafters, and makers of all kinds to help create a fun day of shopping, eating great food, and sampling some delicious drinks from our winery partner Franklin Hill Vineyards. We also provide fun activities for kids of all ages, horse-drawn carriage rides with the beautiful Clydesdale horses of Steiner Artisan Farm (Lucy and Angus) and give extensive tours of the house and barn throughout the day. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday while helping protect a local landmark!
