Cool weather is calling us to the orchards.  A number of great apples are ready; Honey Crisp, Mc Intosh, Gala, and Jonagold but our first stop, the cider donut shack.  They are warm and cinnamony with a crispy outside….sooooo good.  To go picking Grandpa pulls a loaner wagon all over the place…Willa gets to save her energy for actual picking.  We fill a huge bag.  Project one when we get home is apple pie!

There is cider too, fresh and hard versions and local wines.  We do a little tasting while enjoying a lovely relaxing space on plush seating in the tasting barn.   I would do this again.

Aerowood Distillary has a tasting table here.  The gin is amazingly smooth.  Can’t buy it here.  We need to make it to their distillery one day soon.

It has been pretty warm and we walked a lot.  Everyone is ready for a nap by the time we get home.
