An apple a day....

Of course you've heard the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away..." but I think there should be another saying involving apples. It needs to be something like "A day of picking apples helps the family celebrate fall...." It doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but you get the idea.

Every year my family heads up to Lynd's Fruit Farm in Pataskala and every year we have a blast. There are apples of every kind available to pick. All you have to do is pick a row and then you can get as many as you want.

One of the great things about the Lynd apple orchard is that they let you sample apples as you go. So, if you don't like the kind of apple that is available in the row you are in, you can just go down to the next one.

They have workers on hand to answer your questions about what type of apple is in each row and how they are best used. Of course, my 5 year old could care less about that... He just wants to eat apples and climb trees. It is honestly one of my 5 year old's favorite things we do in the fall. Even my one year old enjoyed trying to eat the apples!


After we were done picking a whole bag full of apples, we went to the Lynd's market and got cider and a pumpkin roll. When we got home, I made an apple bread pudding from a recipe they gave us at the orchard and let me tell you, it was good!

So, an apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a day of picking apples helps keep the family together! That has more of a ring to it.. I knew I would figure it out!
