Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with three close friends at Soergel Orchards in Wexford, PA about 12 miles outside of Pittsburgh. This weekend marked the beginning of the Fall Festival and the line of traffic getting off 79 attests to the popularity of the orchard. We had gone in hopes of apple picking but unfortunately only pumpkin picking was available but we were able to buy some apples in the well stocked market. Food stands boasted delicious fall foods such as caramel apples, roasted corn on the cob and apple cider, and children were able to enjoy the many games and activities including pony rides. My friends and I visited the animals in the petting zoo but we mostly enjoyed going into the gift shop and market. Along with pumpkins and gourds (I got some little ones to display on my window sill) the garden center hosts a whole variety of flowers and trees for sale. Hope you have a chance to go enjoy some fall fun this autumn!
