Windy Ridge, an incredible apple orchard in Haverhill, NH – it's a must to put on your fall "to-do"activity list! Located off Route 116 in Haverhill, the Fabrizio family have created a true destination full of apple picking, the Cider House Café, an activity path, playground area, farm animals for the kids to feed, gift shop and more. This place has it all. As a family, we go every year, but this was the first year we ever tried picking apples. Usually we wimp out and buy them in the gift shop, but this year we decided to give it a try – what fun! Having never picked an apple, it was a lot of fun. Although I discovered that it's much like picking out a Christmas tree with my husband – we had to travel to the farthest part of the orchard, and find "the" most perfect MacIntosh apples. He wouldn't travel to the Empire apples section, we had to have the Macs, and we had to have the Macs in the very back, but what a great time we had. Our 7 year old enjoyed pulling the wagon, picking the apples and then riding in the wagon on the return trip to the Cider House Café. Even the baby got into the action, she was able to get under a tree and giggled the whole time. We had a great time, spending over 2 hours and taking it all in. Lunch in the café was delicious, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time - turkey, apple, maple mayo on a wrap! The cafe is also known for their Cider House donuts, they are yummy and you can eat them there or get some to go.We then visited the farm animals, and went through the adventure trail. I noticed people of all ages and areas were there, and they all seemed to have a great time. In the winter, Windy Ridge also has Christmas trees to harvest. If you get a chance to visit, go see the Fabrizio family at Windy Ridge Orchard, Route 116 in Haverhill. And if you are lucky enough to live here, make sure you stop by! If you are in that area this weekend, also make sure you stop by the "green" home we have for sale. This home is located in Woodsville, NH and will be part of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association Open House tour going on all day on Saturday, October 3rd from 10-4 pm. This home will be part of the largest sustainable energy event in the Northeastern US.
