Autumn Apples

This Weekend was spent lost in the countryside on a mission to find Apples. We zig zagged back and forth in the hills between altamont and schoharie because I was sure that Indian Ladder Farms was in there somewhere...
Alas after a couple hours of singing silly songs, beautiful fall foliage, and several surprise garage sales (man I love it when I run into those) we finally pulled over to the side of the rode and asked a man working in his yard were we could find our destination. He told us that it was just on the other side of altamont (you should have heard the scoff that came out of the back seat). We thanked him and were on our merry way (we ran into two more garage sales before getting there, and she was about done with me at this point :). Indian Ladder Farms has been around since 1915 and is a family run business. It consists of various pick you own apples (many varieties), berries, and pumpkins and offers vegetables and other treats in their country store. They have an apple cider press on site and make there own cider donuts (mmm) as well as many animals and fun activities for the family (hay rides, horse-drawn carriage, pony rides).
