I'm trying to catch up on my sorely neglected blog and show some of the fabulous places we've visited in Northern CA. We live in America's Fruit Basket and something is always in season. There are farmers markets here all year long. which I happily take advantage of. Last weekend we visited the Apple Orchards of Apple Hill. It's a concentration of Apple orchards east of Sacramento and during peak Apple season it is a festival atmosphere as all the orchards put out there best. Each orchard begs to be visited for their fruit, baked goods, corn mazes, petting zoos and craft vendors. It's hard to do in one day with around 50 Orchards participating in the festivities. We spent most of the day there and visited 5 orchards I think. It was a beautiful day with glorious fall colors showing off. It was cold enough to enjoy a hot apple cider as we sampled and bought our way through the different novelties at the orchards. I wish I had bought that Banana Honey butter!
