About two hours away there is a place called Elijay that has many apple orchards. Bob and I set out with some friends for the day to attend an Apple Festival, which ended up being a dud. After paying 5 dollars each to walk around in the freezing cold and hardly finding anything that represented apples--although we did have some great gyros, ate fried oreos, and watched clogging (yes, clogging)--we decided to head a little further to the apple orchards to make our time worth it.
We grabbed some hot cider inside and then paid a very small sum to fill a bag with apples that we picked. The variety offered at the time was Rome Beauties, known for their cooking appeal. We picked to our hearts content and then could go inside and fill the bag with other varieties that we chose. Now we are eating apples like there's no tomorrow. Who knew that half a peck would be so large?
