i totally fell in love… with this great little town… paonia. i actually considered moving there before i moved to my little neck of the mountains… but i hadn’t yet visited and i’m super glad i had the opportunity to this week! i had heard that there were farms up in paonia where you could pick your own produce for a nominal fee… and obviously – i was all over that!
the season for peaches is almost over, but orchard valley farms still had plenty of trees to harvest from! i had never done anything like this, it was quite the experience! ❤
i left my camera at home, because this was sort of an impromptu trip… but i had the trusty iphone.
hehehee {not a real person, but totally fooled me!} 😛
entrance to the garden and grove… {those are “peach pickers”}
peach trees galore!
ladder to pick the really big ones at the top!
like this! 😀
sipping wine and picking peaches… what a day!
pumpkins! {no pickin’ pumpkins, though!}
no picking wine grapes either… but the merlot/cabernet blend from black ridge winery was just wonderful!
then i spotted this door on the way out… 🙂
enjoy the weekend!
