Macouns, Cortlands, Jonagolds, Golden Delicious, oh my!

Happy Autumn everyone! Wasn't today, such a perfect day for an outing? My friends and I drove through the scenic rolling hills of New Jersey to get to Pennings Orchard for some good ol' apple picking fun. The best part of the drive was the beautiful foliage. I'm thankful that I don't have to go very far to enjoy Nature's gift.

How many can you name?
 
Look at all those apples!! Between all my friends and I, we picked about 2.5 bushels bags worth of apples and we really worked for them too. We walked high and low and to the farthest tip to find the best. Along the way, we ate some too. By the end of the day, I thought I would be all apple'd out but when I got home, I ate more.


***Quick Tips:
- 1/2 bushel per car is required and that cost is $25 USD.
- The orchard is open from 9AM-5PM daily so if you're planning to go on a weekend, go early because it gets crowded real fast.
- Also wear comfortable shoes and clothing for an enjoyable day.
