Formerly called "Apples Anyone", we are going apple picking in the heart of fall in central Massachusetts driving through some lovely local twisty roads finished with a trip to Herbert's Candies to MAKE YOUR OWN SUNDAES!!
OCTOBER 1st, SUNDAY. Check your schedules!
You can join the twisty road route or meet us there around 2:30pm!
**If you are around the Boston area and/or want to join the "twisty route" out to the orchard, we will be meeting at the
intersection of Rt. 2 and Rt. 2A at the Mobil gas station at about
1:30pm! Be there or be square!**
The destination is a lovely, quaint, family run
pick-your-own apple orchard called George's Hill Orchards in South Lancaster, MA (central MA) that I have been going to for as long as I can remember and it happens to be perfectly nestled along some twisty, old cow-path type roads. They have a huge field/parking area, so I know holding us MINIs there would not be an issue.
Some of the things at the farm:
Hay rides
Pony rides
Petting Zoo
Homemade pies, etc.
A really good grill type "restaurant" on the top of the hill
Ginger Gold, Royal Gala, McIntosh, Cortland, McCoun, Empire, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Mustu apples to pick
Homemade apple cider donuts to DIE FOR
Families are more than welcome to come as well!
Dogs are allowed in the orchard and by the barn as long as they are
on a leash!

After all the apple picking is through, MINI owners are never through unless they have a good ice cream run, so we'll be heading over to the Herbert's Candies and Chocolate Mansion that is right off Rt. 117. They have a "Make your own Sundae" to go along with their ice cream choices, so it should be even more fun! No reason not to make it now -- Apples and Ice Cream!
