This was done back in October (as you can tell by the pumpkins). We had a really nice morning at Solebury Orchards in New Hope, PA. It was a beautiful day and we ended up with 20lbs of Empire and Melrose apples. A month later Julia and I went back and picked another 23lbs of Pink Lady apples. We have been eating a lot of apples and I plan on making apple butter before Christmas. This has definitely been the best thing about moving back east...the orchards. There are lots of orchards in Washington, but it always seemed too difficult to get to them (they were over the mountains). Now that the cold has settled in though, we are missing the milder and wetter weather in Seattle. Already planning a vacation back there for the summer....
