Apple Picking at Pennings Orchard, Warwick, NY

Last weekend the family and I wanted to take advantage of a beautiful just-beginning-of-Fall Sunday, so we headed about an hour North of New York City to go apple picking.

Normally we would wait till much later, but this year I think I actually am a bit more organized.  To where when I go to the orchard, there are still actually apples on the tree!  It was a nice drive past Bear Mountain and Tuxedo, NY. The winding roads were lined with trees lowly showing Fall colors of red, orange, and yellow. We arrived to Warwick, NY around mid-afternoon and enter Pennings Orchard shortly after.

They currently have two apples for picking: Macintosh and Ginger Gold.  Macintosh being great for apple pies, both combined even better. They provided us with a mesh bag that holds about 22lbs of apples (about 4 apple pies) and cost $25.oo each. We headed for the Macintosh apples first.  The trees were bursting with them.  The boys started picking (and eating) right away. It was fun watching them get so excited with each apple they saw at their reach.

We then moved towards the Ginger Golds. These apples are HUGE!  And so much sweeter than the Macs.  We filled our bag quickly, and started making our way out of the orchard part and towards the market.

The market is cute. A lot of fresh baked goods and fruits and vegetables.  I loved that they had all sorts of preserves, from all sort of fruits, directly from the farm for sell. And I couldn’t resist getting some of the apple cider donuts from their on site bakery. They smelled so good and tasted so fresh.  The prices weren’t bad either, which always makes it such a pleasure to buy organic and from a local farm.

The boys enjoyed the play area located right outside, as well as the petting zoo. I didn’t notice it coming in, but the farm’s market area is located right across the street from a big shopping center, which made the market area quite busy.

Everyone was really nice, and the everything was really fresh, delicious, and well priced. The apples were delicious, and we enjoyed our first apple pie only a couple of days later.

    We went there Sun, had a great time and it was lots of fun.

    ONE thing happened and it continues to nag me so much I think i need to call them

    when we were leaving they politely asked us to open our car trunk?? they were polite, but i found it strange, so strange I was speechless. I complied and got a friendly wave.

    I think I will look for another farm next time

      Hi Omar,

      Yes. They do ask this, and I happily complied and this is why: while my husband and i were picking apples, we witnessed a couple filling up a shopping bag (not the one that you purchase upon entering the farm) with apples. The little boy that was there asked them to please use the red bags the farm gives (as having this means you paid for the apples you picked), they argued with him and moved on. Another couple filled up their stroller with apples and covered them with blankets.

      It was sad to witness as I know that these farms struggle to stay afloat and in business. And this is how they protect themselves. Again, I happily complied because I felt so bad that others were stealing from them!

      I do encourage you to try other farms (we have a list of other farms we are trying as well and will share with you)…and please let us know what you found and how it went! : )

A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a p A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a photo, and in the end, it is a photo of a place I call home. Here’s a scene from a fall day at @theflxcottage in @flxwinecountry. During a time when there was so much to grieve and nowhere to really go, we found, and find, happiness and peace here. It truly is magical this way.

Of all the promises travel offers, what is true is that whatever bliss, peace, and joy you may be looking for will start from within, and until then, travel serves only as temporary escapism, never truly grounded reality. 

Travel is privileged joy. But when your home is joy too, then you know you’ve really found a gift that will carry you no matter where you go. Or don’t. Because where you are is enough. And that is everything.

Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk. Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk.
Some times, more than others, you need to hold on Some times, more than others, you need to hold on to moments of joy tighter than ever.

For me, this week, it has been found during long drives through country roads and wintery scenes in wine country. Or with a good movie or TV show (Sylvie’s Love was my latest, along with Netflix’s special “Pretend It’s A City” with Fran Lebowitz). Or with loving conversations with dear friends.

The point is, as a society, there is much to do, but our heart and mind and soul are sacred. Care for them. Love them. Feed them joy, however and wherever you may find it. We may live to fight another day...but we don’t have to live to fight every day.♥️
