Today we went on a family apple picking trip to South Glastonbury, Connecticut. We tried a new apple orchard this year, the Belltown Hill Orchard. It was a really nice place. There was a country store that sold all types of apple products, maple syrups, and other farm fresh produce. We picked up a large bucket and took a tractor ride to the area of the orchard to pick Fuji apples. We ended up picking about 40 lbs. We had apples and popcorn for dinner.
