Grand Morning on the Farm!
The moment we turned into the entrance, we were taken in! The welcoming country store was appointed with period antiques, handmade gifts and baked goods. The grounds were well maintained and the staff, to a person, was friendly and helpful. A special “shout out” and note of thanks to Al for his assistance and wealth of apple information. Don’t miss his delightful dog, Daisy! Families will love the goats, and other farm animals. This will be our fall go-to for autumn charm, apples and pumpkins! ( Oh, and during these Covid times, it’s worth noting, the bathrooms were scrupulously clean and all the staff and guests wore masks. We felt so comfortable enjoying the beautiful outdoors!) Thank you all for a lovely visit. We will be back!

AS usual Wonderful
This our fifth year coming to Red Apple with our grandchildren. It is always wonderful. The experience is so much more authentic than some of the more showy farms such as Applecrest in NH. This year we had to make a reservation, so what else is new? We opted to get the "Open Air Package" which was pick a peck of apples, dig a 5lb bag of potatoes, pick 3 pumpkins from the patch and 9 stems of sunflowers. It cost 40.00 and was well worth it. The kids had a ball! They have added a Brewery which is in the function hall and I must say it was an ingenious way to make up the slack due to Covid which resulted in no weddings allowed. The animals were great but this year we could not feed them as usual. All in all it was a wonderful day. My only disappointment was the system that they had to buy food. I GET it and I do not blame them because I know all these places want to stay open and must go to any length the state dictates ( I wish I could underscore the word dictates). Just to purchase a container of fries you needed to sign up give your name and information and get a number. I feel badly for the farm owners because food consumption most likely is down due to this system. If people were like my husband he just said forget it, I will go to McDonalds. They do have an open air market where they sell produce and you are still able to go into the store and get apple cider donuts. IN the past they have had various organizations participate such as church fairs. I am pretty sure this will not be allowed this year and again it is a shame because I have gotten some nice handmade items at these events.
