Default Topic: Apple picking!

Apple picking!

For the first time, I went with my two daughters apple picking today. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of apples! I learned something saddening though, in a decade we have gone from 65 apple orchards in the Maritimes down to 20!

There's so many benefits to picking your own apples, it's cheaper, fun, good bonding time with children, promotes healthy eating and exercise and you actually know who's touched the apple.
We went to Mackay Apple Orchard in the Kingston Peninsula. The owner is very very nice, lots and lots of trees and his pricing is amazing!

For $20, we came home with 2 small garbage bag sized bags of apples, very good buy!

So please consider going and supporting our local growers. The grocery stores don't and it's a shame
