Apple picking day



It seemed like the perfect day to pick some apples. So we bundled up the baby, loaded up the other two and off to pick some apples we went. Today was the first time we visited Orleans Fruit Farm. We were more than pleasantly surprised. Right in the middle of suburbia is a great stand of apple trees. they have some 3000+ trees with plenty of variety to choose from. Today was near the end of the season and we had Empire, Macintosh, and Cortlands to choose from. Most of the picking occured in the Empire orchard. It was most enjoyable and we have a horde of apples to make some delicious treats from. More to come on these fall wonders.
