TJ's Orchard

apple press
All aboard the big yellow school bus for our first field trip of the school year!!
The kids and I along with Ms Nancy sang Wheels on the bus and sang our nursery rhymes the whole way there, we had so much fun looking out the windows and singing our favorite songs.

Once there we learned about Johnny Appleseed and how to make apple cider and toured the apple press and we even got to wash a few apples and count them too, until they rolled down to fast LOL!

We also walked through the apple orchard and learned about different kinds of apples.  Our favorite as a class is the red delicious.

Then it was off to walk through the pumpkin patch and learn how to grow pumpkins.  Did you know that the pumpkin blossom is a delicious and nutritious treat when fried in a little butter or olive oil.!!
We continued through the pumpkin patch and ended up back at the big barn where everyone enjoyed some freshly made TJ's Orchard apple cider and each child was given a goody bag to share with every one at home.  Inside was a small pumpkin and a wonderful apple from the orchard.
