Country Fair and Apple Picking

Windsor Country Fair

The Windsor Country Fair is held every year at Northwest Park. Avery got a kick out of the Civil War re-enactors (who were affiliated with the Rockville Civil War Museum).

After the Civil War campsite, we visited the craft barn, where Avery got a (temporary!) bracelet tattoo from a local jewelry store and got to make a scarecrow with straw and donated baby clothes.

Clark Farms at Bushy Hill Orchard

Our next stop was Bushy Hill Orchard in Granby, CT for some good old apple pickin’. Avery loved feeding grass to the goats and other farm animals. Then, the tractor drove us out to the orchard where we picked Ginger Gold and Autumn Sunshine apples, two varieties I’d never heard of. After filling up our bags, we rode back to the farm shop and finished the day off with some ice cream!
