Fall! One of our favorite seasons in the TR family. The air is cool and crisp! Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. Bugs are dying by the truckload! And apples are ready for picking.
We love apple picking. We look forward to it every year.
Walking through rows and rows of trees, seeking out the perfect pieces of fruit that we can take home, is a memory none will soon forget. And when you find that perfect apple, and take a big bite standing under the tree it grew on- well that’s just out of sight! It’s a great combination of outdoors activity, good eats and good fun!
With our bounty of apples we’ll make pies, tarts, and maybe applesauce? Who knows? We have plenty of apples to work with.
Our orchard of choice is Door Creek Orchard. They have a great selection of different varieties of apples in a beautiful, hillside setting. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices excellent. They also have cider and grapes available and Black Welsh Mountain sheep to admire.
If you don’t live near Madison, find your own local orchard and give it a try. You’ll come home with tons of fresh fruit and good stories, too!
