We have decided to continue on the tradition of Apple Blossom Days.

One change from last year is that we are going to hold it on two weekends this year – hopefully we’ll catch some blossoms. Last year we missed the blossoms as everything came super early. With this colder weather, I’m going to knock on wood, and say that shouldn’t be a problem this year…

WHEN: Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th from 10am – 4pm AND Saturday, May 14th and Sunday, May 15th from 10am - 4pm

WHERE: Lapacek’s Orchard: N1959 Kroncke Road, Poynette, WI

WHY: Have some fun in beautiful apple blossoms

Apple Blossom Days at the orchard are pretty laid back. We basically ‘open’ up the farm to you so you can enjoy the beauty of 20 acres of apple trees all in blossom. It is quite an experience and I’m glad we’re able to share that with you.

What else can you do?

• Photo Scavenger Hunt that if you complete it and follow all the directions you will be able to come back in the fall for a free bag of apples
• Our store/gift shop will be open with all products that we have available ‘off season’ – it will be a great opportunity to pick up something for Mom for Mother’s Day (May 8th – wow – it’s early this year!)
• Canned Goods
• Maple Syrup
• Honey
• Handmade Goods from Kim and Diane Lapacek
• Pottery from Blue Sky Pottery
• Bubble Wands
• and MORE!
• Let the kids run! Hopefully the weather will be nice and you can let your kids run through the orchard. It’s nice to finally get them out to stretch their legs and enjoy the weather. I know my two are itching to be out!
• Play on the tractor tire playground – I know everyone – young and old have been missing this fun contraption we put in last year
• Visit the animals – yup – Mac, Tosh, Itsy, Zestar!, Tree, Super April, the kitties, and the dogs all miss you!
• Visit with us! Frank, Diane and Jared have agreed to be ‘in charge’ for these few weekends. I should be around but if everything goes according to schedule I’ll have a brand new little one to be taking care of.

• PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES! Please feel free to take your own pictures at the orchard but if you’re interested in some great family (or just kids – or engagement or whatever) feel free to contact Cory of Friends in Photography http://www.friendsinphotography.com/ to set up a time for a photo session. She took some amazing pictures of my girls last fall and I plan on having her doing a session with them in the blossoms too. Visit her website for examples of her work or click HERE to see the shots she got of Cedi and Capri. ***Disclaimer: photo’s included on this post have been taken by me, an amateur photographer…***
