Scattered across the hills surrounding Gays Mills, there are several orchards producing some VERY nice apples... and LOTS of them! Linda and I got to stop in at three and saw some pretty interesting and sophisticated operations. I enjoyed seeing the processes that bring the apples from the tree through to the bag ready to take home. We also enjoyed a few of the apple products offered: apple donuts, apple juice, and an apple slushy that was a little odd at first but, ultimately, pretty tasty.
Two of the orchards made it clear that we would not be welcome in their fields. One, however, told us to go ahead, walk around, especially in their vineyard. Linda loves vineyards so we were soon wandering between the leafy rows. The views of and from these hillsides were pretty spectacular. We'd made the trip at the right time of a very good year for leaf color.
