Mom and Dad and Baba come to visit - Part III

On the Sunday after we spent some time at the Fulford Hall looking at the apples (and cherry tomato seeds), we headed out to some of the farms. A couple of our friends from Victoria, Brandy and Jen, were also heading to Salt Spring that day, so we arranged to meet up for lunch in Ganges. Since we had seen that there was supposed to be lunches at the farms, we decided to head to one of them to meet up instead. The lunches were a bit disappointing, but there were definitly lots of apples, among some other produce. Here's a picture of (from left) Brandy, Jen, my Mom, my Dad, Baba, Jeremi, and me.
And of course, what would a bunch of pictures from the apple festival be without pictures of apples...
And here, back at the B&B, you see the interior of one of the heirloom red-fleshed varieties that we bought. They were all quite delicious. It seems that over time it has become more popular for apples to have in general smooth (not russet) red (not green) skin and white (not red) flesh. I was amazed by the number of varieties with pink or red flesh. The only one we saw growing up was "Snow White", which had just a tinge of pink bleeding in from the deep red skin, but with white flesh throughout the centre. I was so taken with some of the red-fleshed apples, which were so tasty and so beautiful. I wish we could have such a variety at the grocery store.
And here is our late lunch from Sunday, with some cheeses and bread that we picked up from the market the day before, along with a variety of apples, some cider, and some beer.
