Our traditional spot to pick apples has been Eckert's Orchard in Versailles for the last several years. It is a short 45 min drive close to Lexington and has some of the most unique and fun aspects for the kids. We also enjoy their apple cider donuts with a side of apple cider. The kids look forward to the tractor ride out to the orchard, and their eyes light up at the sight of the apple trees. This year with the late season frost Kentucky experienced at the end of April/start of May, the picking was sparse; but that didn't stop the kids from finding bags full of delicious apples to take home. It was an overcast day making for no crowds which gave us free reign to run & play for hours. It was good for the soul to be making memories in our traditional favorite fall spots. Thankful for the heart & soul of small businesses who continue to offer activities & joy for families!
