With four apple picking adventures under our belt, I present the Cleaver’s Guide to a Successful Apple Harvest Trip:
1. Pick a beautiful fall day
2. Get apple cider doughnuts first. It’s no good picking on an empty stomach.
3. Eye your prey
4. Don’t be afraid to use tools to get the best fruits.
5. Pick the Most Photogenic Wagon to Haul your Harvest
6. Don’t be so focused on the apples that you miss out on other marvels.
7. Waste Not, Want Not. Rotten apples explode fabulously when flung from a slingshot.
8. You’re never too old for a petting zoo.
9. And never too big to stop being silly.
10. Pick up more apple cider doughnuts on the way out. It’s only once a year!
