(My blog has turned into a journal for myself so I can remember the fun things I have tried with food. Hope you enjoy it also and get ideas for your family.)
Today is Labor Day, Sept. 2011, and we had a wonderful cool and crisp day as a family.
We drove to Apple Annie's Orchard in Willcox, AZ. Just a little over an hour to get there. It felt closer than we expected. The air was cool and moist. Such a blessing to be out of the 100s.
X was in charge of picking the apples up high with the picker on a pole. I picked the apples down low. Kevin pulled the wagon and M rode in the wagon pointing out all the "nanas". (bananas) A true family effort.
We got a wagon and 5 gallon bucket and walked to the orchard. We picked 36 pounds of apples (about 7 gallons). Then we drove 4 miles to their produce farm and picked eggplant, jalapenos, corn, and tomatoes.
The boys loved running up and down the rows. I highly recommend Apple Annie's Orchard to any family that wants to pick fresh produce.
Two weeks later:
We have since been enjoying the all the produce, especially making juice from the apples. (We bought a Brevillle Juicer from the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Such a wonderful addition to the kitchen.) It is a bit fizzy and tastes so much better than apple juice from the store. It is unbelievable how good fresh tastes.
