The first stop...apple farm

When we walked in the farm house, we saw bottles of apple juice everywhere; lining up in the shelves, in some crates. The wonderful smell of apple pie lingered in the air. We went up to a counter, a friendly lady greeted us, and without hesitation, she quickly brief us on what to do. She told us, 1kg of apple will cost us $2.

With a couple of plastic bags, we went out to the farm. We saw apple trees, hundreds maybe, in straight lines.



Am not sure what type of red apples were there. And there was also Granny (green apple). The red apples were kinda dark red color, maybe it was Jonathan. Anyway, it was one enjoyment. Picking the apples, walking from one tree to another, and to another, crossing lines of trees. Until we said, we couldnt stop picking, and our plastic bags were getting heavy. But what suprised me was, the apple tree was a little too short, not as I expected. I was expecting a tall tree, like rambutan tree. But all the apple trees in this farm were almost at the same height. Probably the farmers trimmed the tree to prevent them from growing taller. Easier harvesting maybe.

Satisfied with our harvesting (chewah), we walked back into the farm house, that was also a factory.

TBC :p
