This summer Mary, Lindsey and I got together and wanted to start a homeschool co-op. We envisioned doing field trips once a month with our group of church friends. We have quite a large group of people that homeschool at our church and what a perfect group to do events with.
Our first trip was to Sietsema Orchards. They did SUCH a great job. We went on a hay ride around the orchard. They stopped 4 different times and explained how the trees grow. They told us how they make cider, what they do in the winter and their different varieties of apples. They also do pumpkins and squash so they showed us those too.
Their bakery. She was explaining how they make the donuts here.
Cold storage.
Cider press. She showed us how it worked.
As part of our field trip we got to sample donuts and cider. Yum.
They also got to pick a yummy McIntosh off a tree. Naturally mine wanted to eat it right away.
