First stop: Middlefield Orchard in Middlefield, New York. This was my first time ever to go apple picking and it was delightful. The apple farm is beautiful. We parked and met up with the owner in the shop where he sells apples and other fruits and vegetables. He offered us samples of "Honeycrisp" apples............he cut them in half with a machete!
Then we were off to pick our apples. The trees were all small and we were able to choose the ones we wanted. Then we picked some raspberries in an adjacent field.
After leaving there, we headed over to Fly Creek Cider Mill in Fly Creek, New York.
We sampled many of their items before having lunch at their outside stand.
Mary suggested we all go to her club (Otsego Sailing Club) and relax a bit and maybe walk over to Brookwood Gardens. So that is what we did. I put my feet in the water and it was so refreshing.
We all walked over to Brookwood Gardens. They were setting up for a wedding which must be tomorrow.
I thought that since it is so late in the season, that the flowers would be gone, but there are still a lot of beautiful flowers to see and take pictures of. One last stop before heading back to Oneonta: Stewarts in Cooperstown. We stopped there and had ice cream. Then we split up, so Mary and carol could go pick up an item for an upcomng chinese auction, and Geneen, Kim and I headed back to Oneonta. We stopped at a roadside stand in Milford and Kim purchased a couple of pumpkins for her kids.
