Tired tomatoes, pooped peppers — Some of my coworkers have already put their gardens to bed. Though my garden is getting sleepy, I am not ready for the end of the growing season.

While I wait for my cool season crops, I decided to enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor. On a picture-prefect Sunday, my friends Lee and Geri, the BF and I drove to an orchard in Afton, Minnesota for an afternoon of apple picking, sampling and shenanigans. It was my first time at a commercial orchard and, to be honest, I made a complete dork out of myself.
