Today we went
to a local farm we hadn't been to before
The Apple Country Farm Market
From their website
At ACFM, the apple harvest season begins in early September and runs
through November. In addition to the large variety of apples we offer,
ACFM also produces
fresh cider from apples that are smaller, poorly colored, and less eye-appealing. To enhance the flavor of our cider, a special blend of apples is used. All apples are washed thoroughly before being ground and pressed to produce an all-natural product. No preservatives are added.
Honey
Here at Apple Country Farm Market,
we maintain our own bee hives to produce for you the freshest honey possible. Our available

What a fun place to go, looks like entertainment for the whole family!
ReplyDeleteBtw, the peanut pumpkin looks like something
from Grey's Anatomy last week!
Wish we were closer so we could visit!
Jo, You two always find the most interesting places to visit. I always liked to pick my pumpkins at a farm- we used to go up to Troy's Fulton Farm. I always bought my 12 egg angel food cakes there. Have to catch up w/all you've been up to. Off to read.....
ReplyDeleteI've never had an apple cider slushie before. I bet it was goooood! Looks like a really fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place. I LOVE fresh apple cider. Very cute pumpkins.
