点评:We went to Mercier Orchards not knowing what to expect. Our group had 4 adults & 5 children, 2 of them with food allergies. My plan was to have Hot Apple Cider & donuts.
The store is large and FULL of Mercier Apple products and other things. We brought home their Apple Butter. Its a large area store and a fun, upbeat atmosphere. We waited till we got through half the store to get our treats.
It's always so disappointing to know places don't have allergy free treats for the kids but they just accept it, even at 5 & 7 years old. BUT... I asked unexpectedly at the bakery if they had anything dairy, nut, peanut free and to my surprise THEY DID!!! The Apple and the cherry hand pies were what our family calls "Jude Safe". It was such a beautiful blessing watching those babies enjoy their treats along with us. Our granddaughter even licked the paper hers was on. We also all had Hot Apple Cider.
They have the Bakery, a place to sit and enjoy your treats and a separate place for the Cider.
They have just about every Apple you can think of grown & sold there, many I had never heard of. They even have an apple sampling desk where someone will give you a slice of your apple of choice.
We didn't have the time or energy for the tour but perhaps we'll do that next time.
This is recommended for a family outing.
翻译:我们去了梅西耶果园,之前并不知道会是什么样子。我们一行四位大人和五个孩子,其中两个孩子有食物过敏。我原本计划买热苹果酒和甜甜圈。
这家店很大,摆满了梅西耶苹果产品和其他各种商品。我们买了他们家的苹果酱带回家。这是一家大型连锁店,气氛轻松愉快。我们逛了半个店才开始买想吃的东西。
总是很失望,有些地方没有适合孩子吃的无过敏原食品,但孩子们却习以为常,即使是五岁和七岁的孩子也一样。但是……我在面包房里突然问了一下有没有不含乳制品、坚果和花生的食品,结果出乎意料的是,他们居然有!苹果派和樱桃派是我们家所谓的“Jude Safe”(朱迪可以放心食用)。看着孩子们和我们一起享用这些美食,真是太美好了。我们的小孙女甚至还舔了舔装她那份食物的纸。我们还都喝了热苹果酒。
他们有面包房,可以坐下来享用各种点心,还有一个专门供应苹果酒的地方。
他们几乎种植并出售你能想到的所有苹果品种,其中很多我以前都没听说过。他们甚至还有一个苹果品尝台,会有人给你切一块你喜欢的苹果尝尝。
我们这次没时间也没精力参加参观,不过下次也许会去。
这里非常适合家庭出游。
