Picking Apples

We took a low key approach to picking apples this fall. We decided we would only need enough apples to eat. As much as I wanted to make applesauce it just wasn't in the cards. We went a little late in the season so there wasn't very many varieties left to pick. We ended up heading to the same farm where we picked strawberries earlier this year. They only had Pink Lady apples left to pick, but they also had some Honey-crisp already picked that we bought. By the way, Honey-crisp are my new favorite apple. So crunchy and sweet. The kids had fun picking and eating apples. Miriam isn't much of a fruit eater so it always amazes me that she loves to try the fruit when she has picked it herself.

Mackintosh Fruit Farm also has a huge garden where you can pick your own vegetables. We bought some peppers, tomatillos, and tomatoes to make salsa. We also bought eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and green beans to eat. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the fruits of our labor!
