Green Acres apple farm


While my parents were here we went up to a pick your own farm in Greece. We went through the corn maze. My parents chose the correct path from the very beginning. Caleb and I did not do so well. We had tried every other option before we chose the one that led to the end.


Next we tried our hand at picking raspberries. There were so many dried up berries on the bushes that had not been picked in time. We got plenty of berries (especially because Caleb doesn't like them). They are so good and fresh. Now I have to find something to make with them.


We also picked apples- Spy, Red Delicious, Cortland, Fiji, Jonagold, and some others. On many of the trees the best looking apples were up at the top so it took some reaching (climbing-although I don't think you were really supposed to). The apples were so brilliantly colored and nicely crisp with lots of flavor. It was a fun afternoon.

  2. mmmmm, that all sounds so tasty! Now I'm craving some apple cider, because when I think of orchards, I automatically think cider. Looks like a ton of fun.
