Sunday in an Orchard

Sunday Mike & I went to a local Orchard. They actually do a lot of business through Mike’s office so he knows more of the back-story behind this family owned farm. Sadly he told me the grandfather had recently passed and it explains why there were less “picking” fields planted this year. That’s really hard. I think it’s important to patron these family owned farms! Support them! The fruits are on par with grocery store prices but you KNOW it’s fresh! You just picked it! Not to mention it gets you out and gives you something to do that’s relaxing/quiet.

We went to the “Summer Flowers” field. Many of the flowers have bloomed & gone but there’s a huge field of late summer Sunflowers ready to bloom!! Maybe by next weekend it’ll be a field of yellow
