City Slickers Apple Pickin'












Over Columbus Day weekend we took Louise apple picking at Windy Hill in Stockbridge. It was an incredibly beautiful day- crisp, bright, and scented with the smell of Macouns and Rome Beauties. These holiday weekends are very big news in the Berkshires. The parking lots at the popular hiking spots and orchards swell with cars from out-of-towners and the corn mazes and tractor pulls are jammed with foliage-loving leaf peepers.

That said, there were plenty of apples to go around and we left with some 50 lbs of deliciousness destined for sauces, crumbles, and pies.
