The End of the Apple, is Just the Beginning...

With the help of seven chaperones we made it safely to Oregon Heritage Farms.



The first stop was into the processing plant where apples are packaged for shipping.

We learned about all the bathes apples take to get ready for the stores.

We gasped when we heard that each and every apple "gets its picture taken" in order to sort it into the right box. Apparently, grocers require specification of size, color and density. The computer does its job while boys stop to watch.





We take one last look at the apples on their way into the plant... Then we are off to the pumpkin patch!




You must not take kindergarten too seriously.
