Pickin' Apples: The Annual Field Trip to Tehachapi

Every year to kick off the fall season, we pack up the vans, and we head up to the mountains to go Apple picking. For our clients, it's a fun, easy field trip that's good for everyone. Also, we've been able to forge a relationship with the Knaus family at their farm to be able to come back with our loud and rambunctious group. 

We've arrived!

Hailey and Daniel were most excited to get apples to bake an apple pie back home at Park Home!

One of the greatest things about the Central Valley is the scale of just how much agriculture grows here. Apples, Corn, Almonds, Grapes, Carrots, you name it, it grows here. Fun fact: Around Kern County, and the central valley, we feed most of the state with our food grown here!

Can't just pick apples, but with a few dollars, you can get a homemade apple turnover, too!

Uriel and Mayra enjoying the cool air, a good departure from the heat of the valley. 

Randy was beyond excited to show off his apple he picked.


This was another great year to travel up to the Knaus apple farm with our group. Everyone really does look forward to days like this, and we love seeing how excited they are to do even a simple thing like walking around and picking apples to take home.
