On Saturday we went to an apple farm on the outskirts of Vienna called Apfel-Hof Grundschober. This apple farm has been in the Grundschober family for 500 years! Since I’m actually allergic to apples, I had just planned on a fun day with friends taking pictures on the farm. It turned out to be so much better than that! We got to pick potatoes fresh from the ground and eat them for lunch. We got to pick walnuts from the surrounding trees. We got to pick apples AND pears. Yum! Just before lunch, Herr Grundschober made fresh pressed apple cider for everyone. Best of all, at the end we got to pick our own pumpkins! All of this for only 7 Euro each. Last year we paid 8 Euro for just one pumpkin, so I’d say this is a much better deal.
You can see lots more pictures here: Apfel-Hof
I am jealous. Something about fall this year has me longing for Vienna. In 2008 the Tuckeys went with us over fall break to a small farm that sounds a lot like where you were, except they had cows instead of food! Such great memories of that trip! I miss those places, even though I am very content with my life here.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the trip! After seeing Stacey’s pictures from the trip, I had wished that I had gone along!
