Picking up your own fruit (PYOF) by whole families is another great modern American tradition. First half of the month of October is a great time for apple picking. The weather is still quite warm and usually very sunny. Combined with beautiful autumn foliage, it is just inviting to “go out there and do something”.
The history of the apple including the native American Crabapple is told by the University of Illinois Extension. Here you can also find information on this fruit’s nutrition, stories and legends, cider, orchards, festivals and other “apple” facts.
You can find a tasty apple pie recipe on this Moms Who Think website.
What could be more fun than spending time together with your relatives and friends and doing the right and healthy thing at the same time?
Maybe pumpkin’ pickin’ before Halloween?
