My preschool class recently visited Buckingham Orchard. Farmer Buck was wonderful and explained to the class how an apple forms. I was amazed at how well this 80 year old man explained this process on a 4 year old level--they were completely mesmerised. In addition, he showed the children how to polish an apple with his polishing gadget and then took us for a quick and chilly walk through his large refrigerator where bushels and bushels of apples are stored. Finally, we sat on the carpet and watched as they used a large press to "smoosh" the apples-- the juice becomes homemade apple cider. After Farmer Buck finished talking with the class, we enjoyed a snack and then headed home. Our first field trip of the season was lots of fun!
