Quick Guide: Apple Orchard

34
Hey everyone! The winds are changing, the leafs transforming into a myriad of colors...so what time is it? FALL! My favorite season, fall allows for beautiful trips to pumpkin patches, making homemade comfort food with spices galore, and just quality time with the family. What can beat that? For the next month, my recipes/lifestyle pieces will depict and be all about this lovely season we call autumn- and how to celebrate this season of change, color, family, and friends! Here we go: QUICK GUIDE: APPLE ORCHARD coming' your way blogosphere!


 PHOTOS TO REMEMBER

Take some obnoxiously self-serving photos to showcase the beauty of the apples, macintosh in our case, and take that selfie that will become your Facebook profile picture. Just embrace it- it's your day! 




THE CHOICE: APPLE ORCHARD

My farmer's market/apple orchard nearest to my college- my recommendation for choosing a market is to find one that is in your local town/ vicinity. It's important to maintain and support local grown agriculture and products. 




ARTISANAL FOOD PRODUCTS 

Some of the best  speciality artisanal items can come at an INEXPENSIVE price at the fall farmer's store. Just do your research- don't pay $20 for a rare squash. Know coming in, via email, or web search what the apple orchard market's speciality is-at this farm coffee ice cream, blueberry pie, and apple pie. You won't disappointed. 





FAMILY  & FRIENDSHIP

Always pick a buddy or friend group to go with you on your adventure! Here is my friend Annaka looking all beauteous in that light; work it girl! It makes it all the more fun and enjoyable when you have pals to gab with (and carry your purse when you want to climb a tree!) 



JAMS AND JELLIES

At almost every fall farmer's market- there will be jelly and jams on sale that are usually home-made in house. Ask to sample new flavors, and ask customers in the store what their favorites are. These are always FABULOUS PRESENTS for the holidays for relatives or that special someone. Can really ump the ante on a piece of toast- worth the money. 




PUMPKINS

Also at these wonderful markets are pumpkins for sale- my recommendation is if you have children or are looking for a more authentic experience, and the market offers a hayride- JUST DO IT! It's amazing fun, and if you forget that you are covered in dirt and uncomfortable sitting on a bale of hay, it can become an amazing tradition! But, if you're a college student like me, and hay-rides are just not your thing, picking up a low-weight, inexpensive pumpkin can be wonderful fall activity to take part in!





ZOE'S QUICK TIP: SMART SHOPPIN' PRODUCE

Get your life with some produce! As fall comes in and summer leaves us in a whoosh, fall produce will be on sale! Get some inexpensive quality produce that you can cook with, and plan healthy, wholesome, well-balanced meals with! Your welcome in advance. 



Namaste, and Happy Fall!
