Today I rolled out of bed and went to the farm with my mom and two of my cousins. I should mention that they’re twelve and fourteen years younger than me, so they’re actually more like nieces sometimes. I didn’t take fantastic photos by any means (we were getting our hands dirty sorting apples, picking tomatoes, and running around), but I got a few that sum up the day.

Tom’s Bee-Loved Honey Bears for sale!

The market, full of delicious fall goodness.

Look what’s for sale! I love this time of year.

My family had into U-Pick before U-Pick was trendy.

When I came to college, I got a lot of comments about how I wasn’t the most thorough eater of apples, because I’d always leave a lot of core left. I’d always explain that my apples come from giant boxes – such as this one – and I just had a very different perspective on them than most people.

So delicious.

I love it, but it means the end of summer…

Most of the time we were there, the market was full of people too.

She’s pretty cute, isn’t she? :)

I love the apple sorter. It is very exciting!

Picking out which ones to sell and which ones will become delicious cider.

Believe in the apple sorter.
