A couple weekends ago, we went with Jake's family to the Huber Winery & Orchard. I had never been, not to any orchard, and Jake wanted something to do with his family that would get us all together and be fun.

There were tons of people there.



But, even better, there was tons of fresh produce, jarred food, ice cream, cheeses and whatnot.



I went completely out of control and started buying tons of stuff for ourselves, and for everyone around me.



It was completely ridiculous. However, I am so glad that I did. I mean, really... Ever had fried peas? If not, stay away. They are completely addictive. And, I don't even really like peas. Green bean chips? Pumpkin butter? Sweet potato pecan butter? Geez. Vidalia Onion mustard? It was like I was in a whole other world. And, anything I bought someone else, we got one of. We weren't there 15 minutes, and me and Jake had to take a trip to the car, to put our 47 bags in the trunk.

But, the best thing we bought there was fresh apple cider. 2 gallons. Do you know how much we have left? Like next to none. I asked Jake if we could go get some more, and he laughed. But, I totally wasn't kidding. I was drinking it in the morning, and at night. He was drinking it warm. I was drinking it cold, on ice.

We enjoyed pumpkin pecan ice cream.



Which we made everyone try. Well, Jake's grandmother didn't. She doesn't like pumpkin? Who knew. We freaked some young girl out at the buffet line with our odd sense of humor. Poor thing. And, we had ice cream that sat out the entire night, in bags, not on ice, that never melted. I refused to believe it was real. I, of course, was the first to get my dessert, and declared
that this was a blasphemy! And, each time another one opened their ice cream, they were amazed. This place is totally from the future, or something.

And, when we got home, we made biscuits. For all the different "butters" we had gotten.



Pumpkin butter.





Sweet Potato Pecan butter.





And, when we were done, we ate peas. And, drank apple cider. We eat well, huh? But, I am in love.
