When I saw the big barn at first, I thought -Oh no, we are at the wrong place. But sign read Buckingham Orchards. So we went in. There was an old man behind the counter, who was not well. Even then he explained to us the history of the orchards and the hundred plus varieties of apples. He handed us an apple basket and told us to enjoy. There were lots of varieties of apples - golden, green, red. We were a party of 5 adults and 2 kids aged 2 and 3. We all had a great time tasting and picking the apples. The kids after their first excitement on seeing the apples on trees, went back to their favorite past time- running between the trees and dropping the apples handed over to them by the adults in the basket. We even found a pear tree. We all had a great time.
