So today my family went to a graduation party for a friend and on the way home we passed a farm with various fruits and vegetables for anyone to come a pick. We aren't the type of family to go on a spontaneous excursion such as peach picking, but they looked so fresh and ripe, we just couldn't pass it up. Here are some pictures from the trip. I also had the opportunity to try out a new photo editing app that I just got called VSCO Cam and I absolutely love all the filters it has!
Before we went back to the orchard, I spotted some colourful, vibrant flowers in various containers for sale.
We took a hayride to the back of the farm to the orchard and along the way we saw some classic farm items such as a barn and a run-down tractor.
We decided to pick white peaches and they were absolutely perfect! Here are a few snapshots of some of my siblings with their findings. Top: Jeremiah (5); Middle: Rebekah (7); Bottom: Hannah (10)
Then of course, my Daddy wanted us to take a
few group pictures. I'm on the far left, and next to me is my 12 year old sister Sarah, and on the far right is my older sister Cecilia.
Here is the last picture of us counting all of the peaches we got. They charged us $.89 a pound so we ended up getting almost 8 lbs. of
peaches for 6 dollars and change. It was a great deal and it was pretty fun.
If you have a local orchard or farm you should go sometime and see if they let you pick your own produce. You can turn it into a great activity for your family, you and your signifcant other, or just you and your friends. You get to have fun, take some nice picture, get some fresh air, and even get some healthy, fresh produce to enjoy.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. I will try to post more often, too!
