This Week's Local Food

This weekend we went to the Farmers Market and another place with local food, the farm itself! We went apple and pumpkin picking. One of the coolest things was the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were all at different stages so you could see how they grow. Check out these pictures of the different stages the pumpkin.

Once we got our hot apple cider with cider donuts we headed home with our bounty. Yesterday we made home-made apple sauce (if you want to make it check out this website for how to make it and where you can pick your own apples www.pickyourown.org/applesauce.htm.) Today we are going to make an apple crisp to try to make a dent in all the apples we got. Fall is officially here!
