changing seasons

One of my favorite seasons here in Maine is the Apple Season. It’s yummy. It’s crunchy. It’s sweet. Hahahaha. It is still summer but Apple Season came early this year. It is now time to go to the orchard and pick the apples yourself.

There are lots of apple orchards around Maine. Most of these orchards are family-onwed and have been in the same families for generations. Most orchards are operated all year-round and they don’t just sell apples but produce a lot of products made of apples like cider vinegar, wine, juice, and jam just to name a few. And there are different varieties of apples that you can find here in Maine like the most famous McIntosh, red and yellow delicious, cortland, and empire just to name some.

Normally, these orchards are open to the public for apple picking. And apple picking is normally a family activity here in Maine. Kids enjoy this kind of activity because they can climb the trees and pick their own apples directly from the tree. But since most apple trees are low and can be reached from the ground you don’t have to climb them at all. But the most important part of apple picking is the part where you can eat as much apples as you can and you don’t have to pay for it. You only pay for the ones that you picked and you put in the bag. But for those apples that you put directly to your mouth down to your stomach… they are free and you don’t have to pay for it.
