An outing: Social Creative

By Leslie Parks - Saturday, October 12, 2019












A warm sunny autumn day greeted us as we made our way to the tasting room at Bellewood Acres.  We stood and chatted as more people came into the room. I stood back people watching. who were these people who had signed up for this workshop? I was curious. Our hostesses welcomed us while ushering us into the distillery. The stainless steel tanks and tubes produced a pure vodka which we were given a taste. We then headed out doors to climb aboard the hay wagon that meandered through the orchard. The smell of apples heavy in the air. Moms and dads were calling to their kids as we passed the pumpkin patch and the corn maze.  Stephen was hard at work taking tickets at the entrance.  We waved as we passed him and continued over the creek. As we disembarked, we were greeted with an appetizer at the beginning of the short path to the fire pit and the rest of the food.  We enjoyed learning more about the orchard as we sat upon wooden folding chairs, and covered bales of hay. Polenta with sauted mushrooms, apple slices and Anytime toffee, baked pumpkins with Gruyere cheese, were some of the dishes on the menu.  Most was prepared over the fire or the coals, all of which made you want to try your hand at cooking more than oatmeal when camping.
