Lyman Orchards

 If you ever have the opportunity to visit this place do it!
You can pick your own fruit during the fruit season!


The first time we tried picking fruit was last summer, we picked blueberries. I thought it would be fun to pick our own berries and make a pie.

Picking blueberries,and trying to reason with Sawyer about the fact that we needed to pay for the berries before we ate them was harder then I had expected.

He put more in his mouth then he did in our carton. He LOVES blueberries! He didn't even seem to mind if they were ripe.
That day we did not collect quite enough berries to make a pie. By the time we made it to the check out stand our bill was 35 cents, then he polished off our whole carton before we got to the car.

Thankfully they have a store where you can buy the fruit already picked!

They sell awesome produce there,

today we bought apples.

There is also a bakery, so if your not up for baking a pie you can buy one. Or you can stop in and have a sandwich made at their Deli.

Then step outside and enjoy your lunch while sitting under a giant willow tree, overlooking their pond.

After lunch you can feed the birds!

If your really lucky you might even get to see some babies!

It's just like something you see in a Martha Stewart episode!
I love Connecticut!

I adore your love and excitement about Connecticut! =) It's so refreshing! I'm so glad you love it here... I actually really do too. I found a butterfly exhibit last weekend and a Kite Fest this weekend - there's always neat things to see and do! =) Love the blueberry shots... and that sandwich (apparently, it's said "sangawich" in certain parts of CT, FYI) looks delish!!! -Julia

What a nice day and what a beautiful spot! Love the apple shot, and of course the baby chicks! How cute! Sawyer is a doll. and of course I noticed the Red Sox hat! Looks like a fun family day. I think some of us who've lived here forever forget how much there is to do on a weekend. I am glad you guys are liking it here.
