Upon leaving Camp Tekoa, we were told about an
apple orchard nearby. The weather was absolutely perfect and we couldn't resist the allure of a day in an orchard with freshly picked apples. They had a huge varietal selection (Jonagold, Red Delicious, Granny, Gala, Cortland, McIntosh, Fuji, Early Macs, Honey Crisp (out), Golden Delicious, Ginger Gold (out), Idareds... and more I'm sure).
Jonagolds were a top fave for us...
For some reason we all had visions of a quaint, mom and pop joint. Not quite. This place was huge and slammed! Luckily, the vast acreage allowed us to escape the crowds and pick (and eat!) apples in peace.
The
Appalachian mountains made for a beautiful backdrop.
Who wouldn't take an apple from this kid?
Or this one?
Or this one?
Or two from this one?
While not my favorite apple, I thought the
Red Delicious tree was beautiful...
They each had their favorite...
We picked our fill and since we have made two apple pies. We'll tackle applesauce next.
