Today we went apple picking with the Galfos at the Barton Orchards at Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction, NY. This is our first time ever to go apple picking and it was fun (^_^) The weather cooperated too, it was cloudy but the showers that were expected, didn't come. So we each bought a 1/2 bushel bag to put the apples in (a bushel is about 48 lbs of apples) for $14 and rented a pole so we can pick
those at the top. We started out with the Jona Mac rows and of course we were eating it as we went along. It was delish! After a few picks we went to the other side towards the Paula Reds. It was crunchier but not as sweet. Then to the Sparta Mac and MacIntosh. Our verdict? The Jona Mac is the best. So we decided to just go back to the Jona Macs and fill our bags with it. Still munching on them as we picked (^_^) It was past noon by then and we were getting hungry so we just went to their store up front to take a look at what they had to sell and left. Other activities in the orchard were gem mining and a corn maze but we were hungry already so we didn't get to go in the maze. Maybe next time. Now we have a lot of apples to eat, bake, cook, and give away. I'll post the album next time coz it's late and I'm getting sleepy and it's gonna take a while to upload so you'll just have to wait (^_^)
