this past weekend we headed over to homestead farm in poolesville, md. this by far is the most family friendly farms i've ever seen. so huge with lots of sprawling land. oh and a llama. and goats and hens and little piglets. so cute. the llama just kept chewing away not minding the humans going aww and ahh and ohhh. {i love llamas}
we picked a bunch of fuji apples because they are our favorite and brought home three pumpkins with us. we wanted to try their caramel apple and just chill for a while but by the time we picked, took pictures and said hello to the animals we were a little tired.
but we hope to come back. we saw little christmas trees growing {so excited to see them!}. we were thinking of picking our own tree this year so perhaps we'll come back in early december.
thanks homestead farm for such a swell time!

I know the flowers are not the 'main character' of the post, but still I love that picture the most;-) But everything looks like a lovely, small adventure!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!! I can't wait to go on a fruit farm/orchard... trying to wait patiently for strawberry season.
ReplyDeletewonderful photos as always :)
ReplyDeleteApple picking looks sooo fun - and sounds delicious too, much better than store bought! Hope you still get to make your jam, otherwise, time to go back for more! xx Kat

conference sounds neat! definitely makes up for it!
DeleteThe photo of mums (red flowers) is my favorite. Glad to know this farm has lots of land. Maybe we'll check out this farm. We usually go to Butlers Orchard.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics, Jane. My mom had gone two times already this season for apple-picking, and kept telling us to do it. Must really take the kiddos soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun apple picking trip! I haven't been in so many years and I'm totally missing it now after looking at your fab photos.

my friend recently went apple picking in ny, and she absolutely loved it. seeing your pics and how gorgeous of a trip it must have been, makes me want to hop on the bandwagon! my search begins now!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I want to go! The colors you captured are perfect for Fall. And you saw a llama, too! Total coolness. My fave apples are the honey crisps from Michigan. Every time I go visit my in-laws, I make sure to try them. They're super good. Hugs, lady!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing - and what beauty! I love all the red going on (with the apples and barns) - makes me so happy :) I'm so glad you guys had a good time! Did you bring Piri?!
ReplyDeleteno unfortunately the orchard didn't allow dogs! bummers. but we got to share lots of apples with him after we came back.
DeleteLooks very nice :]
