If you read my blog at all last fall, it should come as no surprise to you that we went to the apple farm today.
We looooove to go out and pick our own apples. 1) It’s just fun, and is a perfect, stereotypically “fall” activity; 2) We get to pick each of our apples individually–no bumps or bruises!; 3) They’re cheaper per pound than getting them in the grocery store; 4) We can pick a wide variety of apples throughout the season–and we love them all. Plus, we get to ride a wagon out into the orchard. HELLO, that’s reason enough right there. ;)
Just a few photos from our extremely neglected point-and-shoot camera:

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
Is it that time already. We still have a few more weeks where I live.
Hi Heather! Where would one look to find apple orchards in their area? Google? I’m in NJ :)
Anonymous–We have them ALL OVER here. Since they’re not hard to find, I’ve never really had to search for one. This is apple country! Even so, I imagine you probably have a few in NJ. So yes, maybe start with Google? I would search apple farms, apple picking, etc. with the name of your city. Otherwise, maybe there is an Agricultural Office that is part of your local government that might be able to help you? Good luck!
