Everyone has their favorite fall traditions and for me, it’s apple picking. This past weekend, my family and I ventured up to an apple orchard, located in Maine, that we’ve been going to for about five years. Not only do we love their scenic location and ludicrously delectable apples, but also that they are a low spray orchard. You may or may not be aware of this, but apples are apart of the “dirty dozen group”, which means that pesticide usage is much higher for fruits and veggies that are members of this circle. My family is very health-conscious, so we prefer picking our apples at low-spray orchards. This apple orchard that we go to is further away from our house, but 100% worth it (especially for the best honey crisps I’ve ever had in my life) and the drive is super beautiful.
I have been taking pictures at this orchard for years, but I think that these are some of my best yet. I feel like I’ve really captured the vibrancy of the apples and unique trees shapes. Here are a few of my favorites!

Doesn’t this look like a gate made out of apples?

Nice photos, It’s 1am here and now you made me hungry!
Hahaha, thank you! If only you could grab the apples out of the computer screen, right?
We would solve hunger in the world.
Or maybe we need to find some sort of screen-teleport to send stuff across hehe.
I think that whoever invents something like that in the future would become stinkin’ rich, haha. I’m too dumb to invent complex stuff like that though :(. C’est la vie!
Wow! Beautiful! It’s so great that you have a tradition like this. Especially spending it with family! These photos are so great–you have a natural eye!
Thank you Gina! I love having this annual tradition with my family and I hope it continues even after I go off to college! 🙂
