In keeping with the Fall Harvest theme, here's a shot from a recent trip to Applecrest Orchards in Hampton, NH. Applecrest is the oldest and largest apple orchard in the Seacoast (the first tree was planted in 1913). They currently produce about 40,000 bushels of over 40 different varieties of apples each year.
Visiting Applecrest for their annual Harvest Festival (now 33 years running) has become an annual event for my friends and I. The festival offers something for everyone, with a world-famous corn roast, fresh cider & cider donuts, pie eating contests, pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, live bluegrass bands, horse-drawn orchard hayrides and a petting zoo for the kids.
This is a fantastic way to spend one of our beautifully crisp, sunny, fall New England days!
