We went to the farm to pick apples on Saturday. It was a beautiful, sunshiny, autumn day here. Benjamin told us on the way to the farm that in order to pick the apples "you twist them, do not pull the apples off of the tree." Apparently he learned that from an episode of "Max and Ruby." The trees were brimming with glowing apples. We had a delightful time picking and capturing pictures of the farm. This little organic farm was amazing. It is only about one mile from our house, yet we didn't know that it was there. They still had blackberry and raspberry bushes with a few berries on them. We couldn't resist popping a few of those from the ones that didn't get harvested. We now have a new hot spot for our wonderful produce. They also do a co-op produce share that we will have to consider doing next summer. To end the day we had a delicious apple crisp warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream melting over the top.
Here is Benjamin's story about the experience. "We drove to a apple farm and picked the apples. I love apple picking. The apples were juicy. We twist and pull the apples off of the tree. We say 'hi' to a chicken at the farm. We loved the apples. We also ate some apple dessert. It taste delicious. We love also the apples on the branches. We baked a apple pie. I had so much fun apple picking."
