Nashoba Valley Winery...For Apples

I like to try different orchards each year, in search of that 'perfect place'. This year we went to the Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton - which is half orchard, half wine tasting hoopla (note to self, go back sans kids). It was pretty near perfect. 

Maintaining a farm is an awful lot of work, and Leo was raring to go! Per usual, he was armed with is leaf blower/weed whacker and got busy immediately. There was a lot to cover with all of that land. 

  

It was a hot day for late September, into the 80's by 10am. Leo wanted to be carried, taste every apple and pick up all of the rotten fruit from the ground (then look at me with a grossed out face). Sadie ran around as fast as she could, trying to gather as much as she could. I'm ready to put these two to work. 

It was a lovely Sunday to spend with the kiddos...apples, cider donuts, snacks in the shade, watching the fish...and pretty much the last one before chaos ensues and we embark on a family of 5.
