Fall Festival

South East Consortium took a trip to Weeds Orchard in Marlboro, NY this past Sunday. The group that attended enjoyed many fall activities including apple picking and choosing a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and for lunch they enjoy delicious BBQ. Everyone really enjoyed their time at the Orchard!

Apple Picking at Weeds Orchard

It was a perfect Fall day, the sun was shining bright and there was a crispness in the air. The Magical Mystery group took a trip to Weeds Orchard in Marlboro New York. When we arrived we received our bags for apple picking and wagons for transporting the bounty of our labor.

First we had a delicious BBQ chicken dinner along with some corn on the cobb, corn bread and baked beans. Then we started our journey through the rows and rows of apple trees. There was such great variety to choose from, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Honey Crip and so on. We picked the apples of our choosing and filled up the bags that we later got to take home with us.

Next we walked through the juicy Concord grapes and got to taste both red and white varieties on our way to the tractor ride. The tractor took us on a grand tour of the grounds, the rolling hills was quite the vision for all of us on the ride. Finally we walked through the pumpkin patch and made our way to the picnic tables where we ended our day with a snack of homemade cinnamon and pumpkin bread. Everyone had such a great time!
