On Sunday, we had a yummy apple-filled day. On Kellie's recommendation, we checked out Fieldbrook Valley Apple Farms, where we (especially Iver!) enjoyed filling up our bucket with fallen apples (we were instructed to not pick the ones on the trees!), making juice (?cider) with the press, and taking some scenic family photos (thanks again, Eddie!). The farm has been open since the 1990s and grows over 50 varieties of apples, which are "in season" somewhere from August to November.

Iver enjoyed checking out the chickens
After apple-picking, we headed to downtown Arcata to check out BitterSweet, a (relatively? We don't get out much) Cider place, which also had slices of Humboldt Pie.
We loved the rustic/vintage decor, including the sign stating that "Well behaved children are welcome; all others will be made into pie."
We enjoyed both cider and pie!. Mmm.
It was an awesome apple-filled day!
