Fritz and Catherine give educational and evangelical tours of their orchard, and kids come from miles away to these fun events. The tour starts with Fritz telling the story of Johnny Appleseed. We learned about how he traveled all over the pioneer frontier planting apple seeds and teaching people about God. Fritz also showed us how to use his antique cider press.

Next, everyone gets into a wagon and goes on a hayride around the orchard. It was a lot of fun seeing the pigs being fed.

After the hayride, each group gets to make their own scarecrow. You use an old shirt and a pair of pants, a pair of pantyhose, and a lot of hay. Everyone had a lot of fun making their scarecrow, and you even get to keep  it.

Once the hayride is over, we got to bag our own apples from the bins, or pick a pumpkin from their pumpkin patch.

To end the tour, everyone goes to the snack tent and enjoys some tasty treats: apple cider sippers and apple cider donuts. They sell these in their store, as well as apple pies, apple bread, eggs, and a lot of other things.

We had a lot of fun at Windy Hill Orchard learning about Johnny Appleseed and all the things that you can do with apples. I hope you had as much fun as I did. See you later.
