As a Together Counts\u2122 partner, our passion is helping families to be the healthiest they can be. Fall is harvest time in many parts of the country. This means your local farms will be filled with fresh fruits waiting to be picked by you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>This October, celebrate National Apple Month with a quintessential fall time activity: apple picking. Grab your friends and family and spend the day at a local apple orchard picking fresh, local apples. If you\u2019re not sure where the closest orchard is, try going online and searching for the closest orchard to your home. It is best to call ahead of time to confirm their hours and check that their apples are ripe and ready for picking. To make this outing educational, buff up on your apple knowledge with these fun trivia facts to share with your family during the drive.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that\u2026?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Americans eat about 120 apples per-person each year<\/li>\n<li>Apples are nutritious because they contain fiber, vitamins C, and A, potassium and antioxidants<\/li>\n<li>There are about 2,500 known varieties grown in the United States<\/li>\n<li>36 states grow apples with Washington, New York, Michigan, California, Pennsylvania and Virginia being the top producers<\/li>\n<li>Apples don\u2019t require peeling! Try eating the skin because it\u2019s packed with nutrients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/togethercounts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Apple-Picking.jpg\" alt=\"apple-picking\" width=\"213\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/togethercounts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Apple-Picking.jpg 470w, https:\/\/togethercounts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Apple-Picking-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/>Here are some tips to guarantee you pick the best apples possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many orchards have \u201cdwarf trees\u201d which are smaller trees perfect for little ones wanting to pick their own apples. Check when you arrive where these trees are and head in that direction if you have smaller children<\/li>\n<li>Select apples that are free of bruises or soft spots. A firm apple is a good apple<\/li>\n<li>Once apples are picked from the tree they stop ripening. To get the ripest apples, start on the outside of the tree on the side that faces the sunlight. Ripe apples will easily separate from the tree with a gentle twist<\/li>\n<li>Gently place apples in a basket to avoid bruising<\/li>\n<li>Wash the apples right before you plan to use them to avoid spoilage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an apple farm nearby, you can still participate in the fun! Visit the supermarket and select a variety of apples to host your own family apple taste test.
