Visiting an Apple Orchard

Hello everyone!

This is my favorite time of the year, Autumn! And one of our favorite activities is a visit to an apple orchard. We stopped by Spicer Orchards a couple of weeks ago and had a great time walking around and smelling all the amazing scents!

At this point we could smell the fresh donuts being made. Oh, is there a better smell that fresh fried donuts? I can’t think of one!

Okay, so we made a beeline straight to the donuts! Might as well get that over with.

Having had our immediate donut fix, we could enjoy looking around.

All the gorgeous fresh fruit!

I sneaked into the apple cider making room and took a picture! Shhh!

Even a wonderful little café and wine tasting room!

Loved this sign! LOL

Definitely Fall!

They had a beautiful outdoor sitting area where you could enjoy apple cider and fresh donuts!

The trees were loaded with fresh ripe apples!

Do you like to head out for a day at a local apple orchard? If so, where is your favorite place to go?

Kicking Off the Autumn Season

Hello!

One of our Farming friends is Mums the Word. A local Mum farm.

Taking a trip to check out the Fall harvest is something we look forward to every year.

Seeing the fields with beautiful mums it such a treat! Every color you can imagine a mum coming in, they are grown here!

We like to have some of these beauties for our customers and this is the only farm we would ever think to buy from! Carol has us go out in the field and pick the ones we want to be potted up.

Just like our herbs and produce, nothing but the freshest, best quality and locally grown will do!

We don’t just buy for our customers, all of the mums that are around our home come from Carol at Mums the Word. I have had the best results with Carol’s mums. Every year they come back beautifully!

This is such a fun place to visit. We definitely recommend taking a trip out to New Boston, MI and enjoy all the Autumn splendor!

Mums The Word

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting Mums the Word. This is a local chrysanthemum farm.

When we visited, most of the mums had already been harvested for sale.

Not only did we have a wonderful mini class hosted by Carol the owner of the farm, we got to shop!

Carol has a wonderful  gift shop on the farm! Oh, there was so many adorable treasures!

Wonderful Fall decorations made and ready to buy!

Lots of pumpkins and gourds.

And of course, gorgeous mums! I walked out with 5 new mums to add to my yard! Her prices are amazing and the quality is perfect!

And Carol is a wealth of information regarding mums! I learned so much from her!

This little guy attached himself to Troy and vice versa. I thought for sure he was coming home with us!

On the way home from the farm, we spotted a wheelbarrow at the curb. Well, we can’t pass up a wheelbarrow! So, it came home with us!

If you live in the area, you really need to stop by Mums the Word and check it out! You will want to return time and time again. I can’t wait to go back and check out all the Christmas treasures the shop will have to offer this year!
