Manza Family Farm

Another beautiful weekend here in the Hudson Valley. It may be fall but we reached 80 degrees on Saturday, nothing like sweating while picking out pumpkins. Manza Family Farm has been around for over 30 plus years, its tradition to go there and pick out our pumpkins and ride the pumpkin express. They have amazing shrubs, mums, and a large variety of pumpkins to choose from. It really feels like fall when you walk around the grounds. 

Lawrence Farms Orchards, Newburgh NY

If you live in New York you are lucky enough to get all four seasons. Fall happens to be my favorite, the crisp air, the fall foliage and the smell of hot apple cider. When October comes around you know it's time to go apple & pumpkin picking. We recently visited Lawrence Farm Orchards in Newburgh, NY.  As soon as you pull in you can smell the hot apple cider and warm apple cider donuts. Since it was an early spring, the apple trees bloomed early which caused and early crop so we could not pick the apples off the trees this year. Over all we all had a great time.
