Apples

It's that time of year again for Hubby and I to go get our apples. We always buy from a local farm that has wonderful orchards full of different varieties. They have free hayrides to get there and you can pick them yourself. This year we just bought from the stand. Of course, we bought home 1/2 gallon of their own home made chilled apple cider. It is soooo good!

 This is one of the best run farms in New Jersey. And it's only 5 minutes from our house!

 They have several large herds of dairy cows, too.

 They have petting zoo for kids that have never seen a cow....

 

 or a chicken....

or a goat. 

 
There was a big bus parked on the side loaded with city kids. They were so cute to watch as they petted the animals. There was even a corn maze for them to try their luck in.  We got such a kick hearing them squeal with delight!

Plenty of old farm equipment to keep the men happy.

It was a nice way to spend an hour outside on a perfect fall day!
