Hollis and I visited Stuckey Farm for the 3rd time this season. This time, however, we were searching for the perfect pumpkin. We were out in the patch so long that a sweet little old farmer came to check on us to make sure we were ok.
I just love Stuckey Farm. The apples, the pumpkins, the hayrides,the wide open spaces, the beehive, the cider press and cider slushies-it all just helps kick off the beginning of Fall. I also love to watch Hollis pick 14 lbs of apples each visit(and no, I am NOT kidding about the 14 lbs). When she looks back on her childhood, I hope her memories of this little place are just as sweet I hope they'll be.
As for now, just call us the "Bubba Gumps of apples"- apple pie, apple crisp, apple bread, apple muffins, applesauce.....
