Apple Picking
Every Fall we always go apple picking when we go up to Madison to visit Brandon's family. It is only a short drive and it is a great opportunity for us to go and get apples. We choose to go to Carter Mountain Orchard, located in Charlottesville, VA. They always have the best selection and their farm has 17 different types of apples during the season, which runs from mid July through early November. If you want the best selection its best to go mid season in September and October. They have pumpkins and hayrides also during the Fall season and they have amazing views of the mountain side all year round. If you want to learn about Carter Mountain we have posted the link to their website for you below!
Since we are just starting our blog we are playing a little catch up on posting about our apple picking adventure. We went about two weeks ago, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Jonathan, and Jonagold apples were open for picking. (There may have been more I don't really remember.) So we picked a couple Red Delicious and Golden Delicious to take home. Now after all of this apple picking and climbing trees to get the apples {only Brandon and his sister, Brianna did the climbing, his Dad and I just watched and caught the apples they threw us} you work up an appetite and boy oh boy let me tell you Carter Mountain is spot on with their Apple Cider Donuts and Apple Cider they even have Cider that comes in slushy form for those hotter picking days its soooo good. So we always end our venture with a snack!
Keep a lookout for our post about we did with our apples! It should be posted later today!
