Trip to the Apple Orchard!

Today my family and I went to Sky Top apple orchard in the next state over. We already had plenty of apples from my trip the other day, but we went just for fun. The orchard was HUGE! And they didn't just have apples- but that's all we went for.


Right when we walked into the building to get a basket and check out the prices, I saw THIS! It was a miniature display of an apple stand! You can click on it to get a better view.


The mini display got me thinking... thinking to do some apple orchard-inspired miniatures! Something else I found inspiring was how hands-on everyone at the orchard was. There were people making pies, sorting apple, making DOUGHNUTS! I forgot to take a picture of those... I was too excited to eat them. Hahaha!


 There were also some peach trees! We passed them as we went to go find the apples we were looking for.


Maybe I will try to go back soon, because I had a ton of fun!


Now I am going to relax for the rest of the day! Gotta get back to work tomorrow! :) Thanks for reading!

    That miniature is pretty cute, but it would have looked better with wooden crates instead of paper boxes. ;)

    1. I totally agree! I was excited to see the miniatures in such an unexpected place, but I did think "hmmmm.... I would have done a few things differently!" LOL!

  2. This post reminded me of my childhood. My grandparents had an orchard...I wish they still had it now. Fruit is not the same as it used to be.

    1. Haha! Thanks, Marisa!

      Being at the orchard I could see how much work it must be to keep up with it... especially with all of the fruit all over the ground! :O
