We went apple picking in early October.
A little late in the season, but there were still plenty of delicious varieties.
I loved the way this little apple family was snuggled together.

October Colors at the Farm
Still A Few Pumpkins Left
I love the thin layer of Christmas trees spread between the pumpkin patch and the fall foliage.
I Think It’s Sorghum
I passed this beautiful field a few weeks ago and I think it’s sorghum growing. I learned about sorghum syrup when I spent some time in the South, but I recently learned that the grains are edible, too. Some even say it’s a supergrain, with more health benefits than quinoa. I haven’t tried sorghum grain, but I will be on the lookout for it.
It’s pretty, even if it ends up not tasting good.
Oddly Shaped Eggplant
Just another reason to love the farmer’s market–you would never see this for sale at the grocery store 🙂
Flower Garden at the Farm
A farm…I need to get me one of those.
Cows on the Hill
Greetings from cow country! The dairy farms of Central New York say Moo (that means hello).
Rusty and Overgrown
This farm equipment looks like it’s no longer being used, but when I walked by I heard a rooster crowing from that direction. Maybe the owners still keep chickens but no longer grow corn. Maybe it costs too much to tear it down so there it sits. I don’t know, I’m just guessing.

Asparagus Picking Again; Apple Orchard Blooms
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to go asparagus picking again. Last year was my first time.
Nothing beats the taste of fresh asparagus, especially when it’s snapped off and eaten raw. I love the complexity of the flavor of raw, tender asparagus–there are slight hints of green bean and pea as well. Or maybe that’s just my palate thinking about other delicious spring time veggies.
While at the farm, I saw the apple orchard in full bloom.
It’s so interesting the way the trees look like they are almost sculpted into a fence.
