Crane's Orchard 2008: The apples of my eyes and my pies!



A relatively new family tradition is to go to Crane's Orchard to pick apples, get pumpkins, go on the hay and cow rides, walk the grounds, and stop at the Pie Pantry for cider, doughnuts, and pie. We made it to early church to get a jump on the crowds at Crane's. Lucky that we did. The place was it's usual crowded beehive of activity. Once the word gets out that a place is great everyone wants to experience it. Crane's has been making this time of year special for families in our area for many years. The weather was crisp but sunny and there wasn't a care in the world!Unfortunately, the pumpkins sold out yesterday. We'll have to find some pumpkins for Halloween next weekend. Still, we got enough apples to make quite a number of pies, applesauce, baked apples, and apple crisp. Worth the effort for sure.

I love the food at Cranes restaurant too, they have great soup, chili, and homemade bread. They stay busy all year long.
