aaaaaaahhhhhhhh, apples!

hubby and I went to the local orchard

and got a ton of freshly dropped drops

after the recent wind storm we knew that drops would be perfect

mostly Macs and Cortlands

so much cheaper per lb (only 29 cents - wow!)

we pet and fed the goats, picked some unique squash

and headed home

so I better get busy processing!

this year I am making Caramel Apple Jam, Apple Leather (natural fruit rollups), Dried Apple Rings, Apple Chutney, Frozen Apple Filling and a bunch of fresh eating & baking as well.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH APPLES THIS YEAR?

mushrooms!

wanted to share a pic of a new little adventure...
growing our own mushrooms!

for my bday I was given a super simple kit to give it a try
if all goes well, we intend on expanding our mushroom growing to other varieties as well
have you recently tried something new?

from our farm to yours
