Weekend FALL HAYRIDES~&">Farmer Don's fun facts:

• A solid green pumpkin picked in October will turn orange by Christmas!  Pumpkins continue to "ripen" both on and off the vine!
• Pumpkins are fruit.
• Colonists sliced off pumpkin tips; removed seeds and filled the insides with milk,
  spices and honey. This was baked in hot ashes and is the origin of pumpkin pie.
• The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds.

    Farmer Phil's  fun facts:

• Once picked, don't throw the apples into the baskets, place them in gently, or they will bruise and spoil quicker than ones placed gently and non bruised!
  
• Keep apples refrigerated to preserve crispness!
• It takes the energy from 50 leaves to produce one apple.
• It takes about 36 apples to create one gallon of apple cider.
