Apple Blossom Farm

This friday we are heading to Apple Blossom Farm. The address is : 9809 North Route 91 for those of you who haven't been there before. We will meet at 10. The playground is free. They still have the petting zoo, but unfortunately the big slide is no longer there. BUMMER! The website states there is a beehive you can check out in the Harvest Barn (store).

Come enjoy our beautiful weather, let the kids run and play, and maybe enjoy a cider donut or two. They have a little bakery where you can buy lunch from 11-2.
