Apple picking but no Apples!

The family and I drove 35 minutes to a orchard to pick apples and try out a whole bunch of cider stuff. When we got to the orchid, They wouldn't would allow anyone to pick apples. Weird huh. Since my boyfriend seems to think I don't pick out produce pretty well, we thought this was the perfect time to get some fresh organic apples. 

We ended up having a good time anyway, meeting new people and take pictures that looked like I was picking apples. lol. We tried a Hard cider flight, cider donuts and cider slushes. I definitely loved the different options of apples. I ended up taking home some apple cider vinegar and cold cider. 

What do you like about visiting a orchard?
