The weather ended up being perfect and since we went on a Friday we beat the crowd. Of course the sacrifice for going on Friday is that we missed the opening of pumpkin patch (it opened on Saturday). But that’s okay; we have actually decided to go back with some friends because we had such a great time. If you decide to go here they have a hay ride that will take you to the different areas on the farm to pick your food. I would suggest that you take advantage of this and don’t use the wagon (free) that they offer unless you plan to buy a lot of heavy food. If you have a little one like us you can fold your stroller and bring it on the hayride as well.
We picked a few blackberries since there was only one row left to pick and also some raspberries. We intended to go to this farm in June to pick strawberries...yum, but never made it. The only apples that they had available to pick were Gala apples and they are delish! We skipped the peppers and eggplant since we don’t use those items that much when we cook, but they looked great. Our last stop on the farm was to pick peaches. They had humongous peaches and I think we got too many, but we couldn’t resist. So what does one do when they have too many peaches? Make peach cobbler!
I went to one of my favorite sites, Food Network, and decided to try Paula Deen’s recipe (see below). It was fabulous! If you decide to try this recipe I would only use 1 stick of butter, add another cup or two of peaches and reduce the milk to 1 cup. Let me know what you think.

We were supposed to visit the Crayola Factory after, but didn’t have enough time to get there and go through the exhibition. It ended up being for the best since 1, it gives us something to do another weekend and is not contingent on the weather and 2, I realized I was exhausted. All in all a great day with the family.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Smooches,
Keli
