About 5 minutes from the camp ground is a place called Hopewell Furnace. It is a museum about the iron mill that used to produce much of Pennsylvania's iron. Next to it is an apple orchard where you can pick about 30 different varieties of apples for $1 a pound!
We started with the familiar Jonagold and Rome.
Then we found Stayman and Smokehouse apples! They were so crisp and flavorful!
The kids liked McIntosh best. This is Elli and her friend, Abby. Abby got to go camping with us and had never been camping in a tent before. Glad there are other people out there who aren't used to camping! It looks like she is raking the ground, not picking apples! Look up!
We could sample one apple per person, but I think Riley had about 4. He does the same thing when we pick peaches. They should have someone to monitor him. We picked about 17 pounds. Too bad I can't remember which ones are which.
