Peaches!

At some point I got it in my head that we needed to pick peaches and we went back and forth on whether or not it was worth the drive and the cost. But when Pat had some time off and we were making a list of things we could do that would be fun/new/easy to social distance we realized we might as well go for it because there aren't a ton of things that can work with those specifications. The visit started out with a short peach education class where one of the owners explained why growing and picking peaches is an expensive and finicky process. Apparently it's really tough to grow peaches in Ohio because of the weather and they only get a really good crop about every three years. This was a good year which is why they were letting people come and pick their own! There were a couple dogs wandering the property and Paige was obsessed. Obsessed to the point where I think she spent 90% of her time locating and petting the dogs and the other 10% picking fruit. We got ourselves a good load of fruit and headed back to the main barn to buy apple fritters and drinks for the drive home. The fritters were delicious and we're thinking of heading back for apple picking later in the Fall!

This dog's name was Hudson and he wandered around to almost everyone until stopping here for Paige to pet for a long long time. I think he could tell she needed the interaction the most:)

Peach tree!

Owen did a great job picking peaches. It's not easy to figure out which ones to pick. They aren't soft yet so you can't choose that way. Mostly you have to make sure there's no green on them!

Pat was a good sport about the trip even though I don't think he's a huge fan of peaches. He did request a peach cobbler though which we'll be making soon!

Paige did help!

Such a delicious fritter!

Yum!
