Going Local: Adventures at a Fruit Farm and some FREE Pie & Cider


I started out this morning thinking about what my family should do for the day. I knew about Auntie Anne's Free Pretzel Day. I pondered what else?...then recalled my kids asking me several times this past week "When are we going to the fruit farm?...I really want some apples" By "fruit farm" they meant Way Fruit Farm. Hmm, free pretzels or apples. How could I say no to the healthy choice my kids were excited about?! I decided to check my email remembering I got a message yesterday from Way Fruit Farm. I wanted to see what kinds of apples they had available. Also, the email mentioned "if you come check out our new fireplace in the cafe this weekend and bring a copy of this email, you'll receive a free slice of pie and cup of cider to enjoy by the fire." This part of the email was an unexpected bonus!

So, off we went to the "fruit farm."  My kids love this place. It's almost like an adventure for them. Maybe, it's seeing all the apples. One of my daughters really wanted peaches. Of course, peaches are not in season. Not to worry, she got it in the form of some FREE pie.

The email offer stated the limit was 2 per group. But, the people at Way Fruit Farm were so kind and insisted on giving all of us - my 3 kids, my husband, and myself - each a piece of free pie.  So we got 3 apples pies, 1 walnut apple pie, and 1 peach pie. YUM! The kids got cold apple cider and us grown ups got hot cider. WOW, we enjoyed this! The cafe is wonderful and their apple cider is the best!!!

We left there buying loads of apples and also some apple cider. We couldn't resist Way Fruit Farm's own delicious apple cider!

How did I get Way Fruit Farms email? I am a subscriber to their emails. If you are interested in doing the same, you'll need to visit their store and sign up! Go check out Way Fruit Farm...it's worth it!
