Apple Annie's Orchard


Today we took a little road trip to Apple Annie's Orchard & Farm in Wilcox, AZ...about 2 hrs southeast of Tucson. We had a GREAT time and it was easy to get carried away. They gave you a bucket to pick peaches and we had to restrain ourselves from over picking! You have so much fun, you don't realize how many peaches you've picked until it's too late.....then you realize you have to pay for them. ha. They were handcranking homemade peach ice cream and we had homemade peach pie ala mode. Ohhhh so good!

My grandparents used to have a peach tree & I loved picking as many peaches as we could while mom took them home to make peach cobbler. (speaking of which, is in the oven. yum!)

After our peach pickin', we headed over to their farm to pick veggies. Nate had a great time, picking black eyed peas, okra (which is sort of like brushing against fiberglass. He & I kept complaining we were itchy), yellow squash, zucchini, and eggplant. We had a ton of veggies and still only cost $18. Don found a caterpillar and Nate thought it was interesting until it tried crawling up his arm. haha.

It was a great day. Don & Nate are shelling the black eyed peas (which Nate still thinks is "fun"....and we'll let him.) and I can't wait till this peach cobbler gets out of the oven!
