We eventually found the orchard and it was really cool. For a while I've been wanting to do an "apple flight". Just like a wine flight, but with apples. This was the perfect place to finally find out which kind of apple was my favorite. Tim and I strolled down each lane of apple trees, picked one from the tree (!), buffed it on our jeans, and took a bite each. Of the apples that were ripe and ready to eat, my favorites were Golden Delicious and Gala–least favorites were Red Delicious and McIntosh ( I found them too dry). In the barn, they served apple donuts, pumpkin donuts, apple pies, fudge, caramel apples, and ton of other yummy apple goodness. Behind the barn was a BBQ area, where Tim and I had apple fries, apple cider, and apple BBQ sauce (which was so good, I bought a jar for my brother). Just when we thought we were appled-out, I wanted to grab a dozen pumpkin donuts to go, but the line was so long, we had to pass. I need to look into finding some pumpkin donuts in the city.

yay for flights of apples!! ;)
I MISS the apple orchard and pumpkin patch!
that looks like so much fun! seeing apples just hanging out on trees always slightly surprises me. maybe it's a floridian thing...kind of like when people from wisconsin come down here and are surprised at the palm trees or the alligators...but the reverse.
Erin, I was thinking the same thing. It was so strange to see apples growing on trees. But imagine what people think when they see grapefruit and mango trees. We had both in our backyard. :)
Our backyard was awesome.
