Kercher’s Harvest Festival Recap
I went to Kercher’s Sunrise Orchard on Saturday. It was wet and cold, but we still managed to have the best time. We were there about 10:30am, and the car lot was almost full. We went right to the line for the tractor ride to go to the pumpkin patch. It was a long wait. I loved watching all the kids running to the apple orchard to pick the apples, and seeing people line up to buy all the great food items.
When we finally made it out the pumpkin patch, the ground was very wet, and I was very glad that I wore boots! After about 20 minutes, we found our perfect pumpkin. On the way pack from the pumpkin patch, we met a family who each had a pumpkin. I found out they had been coming to Kercher’s every year since their daughter was five. It’s great that families mark this event.
Early Saturday morning, I read a twitter from Kercher’s that they were roasting a hog for their pulled pork sandwiches. I had to try one. It was the best! With apple cider and an apple dumpling, I had the best lunch.
So next year, when you need a pumpkin and want time to enjoy Fall, go to Kercher’s. If you went to the Kercher’s, what did you enjoy doing? Do you have a picture of your pumpkin? Show us what you picked.
