Today we went to pick apples at the apple orchard on Jockvale, Apple Hill. It was so busy. I had never seen it so busy. The farmer said they had had 3000 people through on Saturday!
The reason could be because this is the last year for the farm. It has been in operation for 70 years!!! You'll never guess what they are building?! More houses!!!
If you have not been go by and pick your own. They have Macs, Spartans, Empires and Courtlands (my favs). We picked a mix. It is $6 for sm, $10 for medium and $16 for large basket. They encourage you to try them before you pick them, which means you can eat them to find the one you like the best. You can also get pre-picked baskets and cider. Daphne and I made homemade applesauce. Delicious:) I am definitely going to go back for more.
Here is one of my favourite ways to eat apples:
Lily's Cinnamon Apples (Lily is a former student and she brought this for snack one day)
Cut one Gala apple into small bite size pieces. They do not brown quickly so you can eat them later in the day but if you are eating it right away use any apple but green. Then sprinkle them with cinnamon to your taste. You can also sprinkle some sugar but I eat without the sugar. I am sweet enough (no comments about this please;)
Enjoy! It is like eating apple pie!
Question:
From Daphne "Why do they not grow green apples?" Do they anywhere in Canada?
