I brought home all the apples I picked and am finishing them up this week and I'm so sad because each and every one were delicious! If you live nearby and season is open again, be sure to visit. It's a lovely orchard with delicious apples!

As a college student from out of state, specifically from California, one of the essential…read moreexperiences I did not know I was missing out on, but totally was, is apple picking. I also did not realize how much I liked apples until I got here. A lovely family (shout out to the Franklins) that I befriended invited us to apple picking one day. My friends and I were thereby able to enjoy fall weather and the sheer wholesomeness of picking apples. Everyone needs to go apple picking if they ever get the chance (and are not allergic to apples). There's something satisfying about finding a beautiful apple, picking it, and eating it. The Orchard gives you a handy guide to locate different apple varieties, each variety identified with a distinctly colored ribbon. Our goal was to find the delicious Honerycrisp. That's when I learned how delicious Honeycrisp is. They sell cider and cider doughnuts which are both delicious. You can also buy bags of already picked apples. How convenient!

We enjoy coming here on Saturday lunchtime . Sometimes they have a food vendor come in or in the summer, they have the open area across from the brewery to enjoy for outdoor enjoyment (aka beer garden) where you can also bring your dog. From a beer perspective, we love trying all their beers which are fairly low in abv and very drinkable. They don't do flights but do half pours. Favorites are the American kestrel , any of the ipas really are great. They have a good variety of beers in cans to go as well. Kid / family friendly brewery. Bring a board game if you plan to stay long.

However there is parking on premises in the back. The owner Alex is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and is happy to share his knowledge of this wonderful fermented beverage and the process of making it. Most importantly the mead itself is wonderful and drinking here really feels like a one of kind experience. Alex is great company and his passion for creating delicious mead pours through in each representation the drink itself. His recipes are unique, delicious, and full of surprises. I came with a small group most of whom had never had mead before and were skeptical but by the end of the tasting Alex had made mead fans out of all of them. Definitely a special place, don't miss the chance to go if you're in the area.
