our october is full of firsts and lasts..
this is our last weekend to invite you to pick apples and pumpkins.
it’s so nice to be able to offer you a lovely selection..
we will be picking our empire (or vampire), idared and ambrosia apples.
there are a handful of other varieties too.
you just have to walk to the ends of the rows for them.
there were first visits for many families.
we had our first harvest from our baby orchards.
we’ve had our first frost.
our last batch of cider is here for you to enjoy..
pressed this week, from fresh apples.
“late harvest”
it’s autumn in a glass.. fabulous!
did you know it freezes beautifully?
i use it to make apple cider caramels in the winter..
a wonderful gift.
"fall has always been my favorite season.
the time when everything bursts with its last beauty,
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” lauren destefano
“autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons” jim bishop
“and all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be
are full of trees and changing leaves..” virginia woolf
it’s dreamy!
it’s just so beautiful here in our valley..
come for a wander.. pick apples to fill your fridge,
enjoy the colours, listen to the birds and riversong,
sip our last cider of the season.
come and chat.. and say goodbye. until next year.
warm autumn hugs,
laura
