点评:We were part of a group that toured Millstone Creek Orchards during blueberry and blackberry season. As our group gathered on the wide, comfortable and shaded porch of The Apple Barn, one of the owners - Barbara - warmly greeted us. She told us the story of the orchard and farm. Candy, our tour guide, then met us, gave us an overview of the farm, and then walked us to the hayride on a flatbed trailer. We rode past peach and apple orchards where we could see those developing fruits. Candy gladly answered all the questions from the group. First we picked blueberries from a large section of bushes. We were encouraged to go from bush to bush, sampling as we picked. After picking blueberries, we moved over to the blackberry section. We were given the opportunity to pick a small plastic container of berries - I think it was a pint. We rode the hayride back to a covered section with tables and sampled some of their products. We sampled some of their canned old fashioned peaches , lemon blueberry bread, wine cake, low sugar/ no sugar raspberry preserves, and their Apple Cider slushy. Everything was good. Our favorite was the apple cider slushy. It was very refreshing on a hot and sunny day. The Apple Barn has a wide variety of foods, produce, refreshments, decor and mementos available for purchase. Everyone on staff was very kind and welcoming. Be sure to check their web site to see the wide variety of events and opportunities available throughout the calendar year.
翻译:我们是在蓝莓和黑莓季节参观 Millstone Creek Orchards 的团队的一员。当我们的团队聚集在 The Apple Barn 宽阔、舒适且阴凉的门廊时,其中一位业主 - 芭芭拉 - 热情地迎接了我们。她给我们讲了果园和农场的故事。我们的导游 Candy 随后会见了我们,向我们简要介绍了农场,然后用平板拖车带我们去了干草堆。我们骑马经过桃园和苹果园,在那里我们可以看到正在发育的果实。 Candy很高兴地回答了小组的所有问题。首先我们从一大片灌木丛中采摘蓝莓。我们被鼓励从一个灌木丛走到另一个灌木丛,边采摘边取样。摘完蓝莓后,我们又来到了黑莓区。我们有机会挑选一个小塑料容器的浆果 - 我认为它是一品脱。我们骑着干草车回到有桌子的有盖部分,并对他们的一些产品进行了抽样。我们品尝了他们的一些罐装老式桃子、柠檬蓝莓面包、葡萄酒蛋糕、低糖/无糖覆盆子蜜饯,以及他们的苹果酒泥浆。一切都很好。我们最喜欢的是泥泞的苹果酒。在炎热的阳光明媚的日子里,它非常清爽。 Apple Barn 有各种各样的食品、农产品、茶点、装饰品和纪念品可供购买。工作人员中的每个人都非常友善和热情。请务必查看他们的网站,了解全年举办的各种活动和机会。
