Apple Hill

It is time to revive the Apple Hill tradition!  For years it was customary to make the trip to the hill and spend a day moseying here and there looking at apples and pumpkins and gourds.  Of course, buying apple butter and apple pies was high on the list as was buying up the offerings of the ever-growingg number of vendors planted there.  We haven't been in years and that must change!

    If you are going to Apple Hill, do yourself the favor of going to the Rainbow farm and get some apple donuts - made fresh while you wait! A small, unassuming farm with donuts that must be sent from heaven, they are so good! They come in paper bags of six. I usually buy several dozen and bring them home to the neighbors.
