Apple Picking


We went to our favorite pick your own farm, Lariland Farm, to pick some apples yesterday.  (Lariland uses integrated pest management instead of pesticides!). Avery enjoyed picking the Empire and Magnolia Gold.




The Red Delicious weren't as flavorful though. Those three were available now but throughout the fall there will be 12 more varieties ripening so we will be back a few times!

They also have so many other fruits and vegetables to pick!  In the summer we picked blueberries, raspberries, and beets.  Well yesterday we picked spinach and Swiss chard!


We also picked more raspberries (we never thought raspberries and blackberries would still be available this late in the season!).

Next week broccoli and more become available too.

Lariland starts their fall festival next week too.  They were constructing the hay maze, characters to see on wagon ride through the forest, and more.  They also were setting up "spooky" things around the farm! 




We can't wait to come back to pick more vegetables, apples, pumpkins, wagon rides, and enjoy the fall fun there!
