Apple delight

Ever tried eating an apple plucked right out of the tree with your own hands? Well believe me it is quite an experience. A few days back my parents, brother, a couple of his friends and I visited a place rightly called 'Apple farms'. The trip started with an introduction given by the owner of the farm to the different types of apples available on the farm, location of each variety and the what each variety could be used for. This was followed by a ride on a tractor to the farms.



Beautiful, fresh apples hung from the tree in bunches beckoning us to have a bite of each luscious looking fruit. We tasted a few apples, picked and chose a few more. Went to several different types of the apple farms and by the end of it had close to 5 lbs of different varieties like golden delicious, Granny Smith and McIntosh.



The short trek around the gardens got us hungry and what better option than freshly baked apple pie! The verdict : The day was literally 'fruitful'!
