Our Children's House classes enjoyed Apple picking this week. We visited Carlson Orchards, in Harvard, MA. Each child got to pick some apples. After enjoying an outdoor snack, students went to see a tour of the cider pressing operation.
It was exciting to watch the apples go up the conveyor belt to be washed and sorted, and then see the cider come out. Students learned how orchards can keep apples fresh to be sold throughout the year.
We appreciate all the chaperones who joined our children to make this a fun field trip for all.
