Apple picking

With the onset of harvest season here in New Brunswick we had the opportunity to have a day out with Debbie and George our great friends who suggested we go apple picking following which we would have a picnic.


Throughout the summer months over this side of the country, fruit picking for personal consumption is a very popular past time as it is an opportunity to enjoy the sunny weather and to choose the produce for onself. While Ross as a young boy had experienced fruit picking Beverley as a city girl never had. So the White/Wright household really enjoyed the time spent wandering around this very well kept orchard. As can be seen in the couple of photos below the property sports a nice homestead with a beautiful vista to a lake.

The farm also produces blueberries,

and rasberries.

The farm also had a great collection of vintage machinery and the John Deere ride on mower must be one of the originals.

Following the less than strenuous apple picking and a good walk around the property we drove to a local provincial park on the St John river for a picnic lunch.

It is a lovely area and even boasts the New Brunswick version of Bondi Beach.

We celebrate our second Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and have our friends Jacqueline and John coming over for dinner.

Stay safe,

Ross, Bev & Murphy
