It’s Apple Season! In fact, here in the Fraser Valley, you and your family or friends can pick them yourselves… right off the branch! Taves Family Farm is a Lower Mainland destination for ‘U-pick’ apples. Located in Abbotsford, you’ll find Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Gala are just a few of the apple varieties available. While you’re there, make sure to check out fun activities for the kids and shopping at the Apple Barn Country Store!
There are many great ways to enjoy apples this time of the year… but may we suggest baking your very own Apple Crumble? Served hot out of the over and topped with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, this recipe is an easy crowd pleaser that makes even the beginner baker look like a pro! It’s a great project to get the kids to help you with… and will leave the home smelling DELICIOUS!
