Apple picking is one of my favorite things to do as a family during the Fall. This year we headed back to Jonamac Orchard in Malta, Illinois. Jonamac has a great choice of apples but we head to this one mostly for their doughnuts. They are served warm and are absolutely amazing. They are so good that this year I stood in line for almost an hour just to get some.
Jonamac Orchard has other things like a great kid’s area, a giant corn maze, pony rides, and an apple launcher. They also have a huge rocking chair for photo opps (which of course we forgot to stop at this year) and a country store. We got there later in the day than we had hoped to so we didn’t have time to do much. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of my boys, my niece, and my nephew at the Orchard.

I went apple picking for the first time last year and couldn’t believe the varieties on each tree. It was a real nice time to try and find apples that were ripe. See,ed like so many had already dropped and were eaten. My favorite is mccantosh, but I was able to get varieties that I had never heard of.
Great way to get kids involved in eating healthy. Hoping to go strawberry picking too
This is a great activity for children and it helps them understand the process of where their groceries come from.
