Where do apples, pumpkins, squash, pears, cider, pumpkin donuts, corn mazes, pony rides and vendor booths all turn up at once? At Green Bluff in the fall, that's where! This community of farms and orchards is located just a few miles north of Spokane, Washington. I try to get there every year, because it's such a beautiful place to visit. Two or three farms in that area go all out with attractions and activities, while many others simply sell their produce at stands or barns. Saturdays and Sundays are busiest, so this year my daughter and I chose to go on the first Friday of October; we were bringing along her infant daughter, and didn't feel like struggling with crowds and traffic jams.
I grew squash in my own garden, so didn't purchase any here. But we bought two of these cute little gourds for decor in my daughter's apartment.
Neither of us took any pictures of the apples or pears, but there were boxes stacked all over in one of the tents. We sampled a few varieties of each, and bought just a few to eat. We considered it to have been a successful outing!
Most pictures taken by me on my Android phone, except the last two, which were taken by my daughter on her I-phone.
