Field Trip: Apple Picking
The Man and I took a spur of the moment field trip up to Oak Glen to spend the day picking apples. We were quite surprised to learn that all of the orchards had been nearly ruined by a recent frost. Many of the farms had already harvested what was left to sell at their farmstands. So there would be no picking but plenty of apple tasting, cider drinking, pie eating and picnicking.
There were huge stacks of crates piled high behind the cider mill. I believe they press cider all day long. Or until the cows come home. There is nothing better than icy cold fresh pressed cider. Divine!
We snacked on cherry pie instead of apple to balance things out. 😉 And I got to watch him show me his bow and arrow skills. Pretty impressive.
At the end of the day we came home with a half gallon of cider and a big box of Honeycrisp apples. Which are quite possibly God's most perfect fruit.

My neighbor experienced the same thing this past weekend. I agree with you Heather, Honeycrisp apples are God’s perfect fruit right next to Pick Ladies that is.
Sounds like the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon. I bought some organic honey crisp apples and made a cake with them yesterday, they truly are delicious apples…enjoy!

Pink Ladies and Honeycrisp are the BEST!
I better not show this post to the boys….they can shoot arrows!
We are planning to go to the Apple Butter Festival! Can’t wait….Thank you for sharing Ciao Rita
We just had a day up in Oak Glen as well. We love it up there, it’s always a fun adventure and I also LOVE their fresh Apple Cider 🙂
Your pictures are so pretty! We visited one of our local orchards this past weekend as well. I brought home Granny Smith and Jonathan apples to make apple butter with. Apples this time of year are just fabulous!

Hello Heather! This makes me want to take a road trip up to Jullian for a little apple pie.
I have never in my life had a Honeycrisp apple. Perhaps I’ll make myself a consolation cherry pie.
