Apple picking is one of my favourite things, and something I look forward to all year long. Traditionally, my mom and I head to Elderkin's Farm near the start of October to pick a ridiculous poundage of apples that then require a lot of baking. This year is the first that I haven't been in Nova Scotia, at least for a visit, during apple picking season, and I didn't want to face the rest of autumn without the prospect of homemade applesauce (it's really not the same if you don't pick the apples yourself), so Emily and I went to Berryview Farm in Caledon, where they taxi (ok, wagon) you past a pumpkin patch to get to the orchard. We picked 20 lbs of apples. Each.
