The September Harvest Tour


Bob Osborne invited members to join in a tour of orchards and farms in Central Rhode Island on September 21st .  Six people/4 Model A s arrived at Orchard Farm School to start the tour at one o’clock.  The weather was perfect – a sunny, breezy early fall day!  We visited four orchard Farms starting with Knights arm.   We started out towards the field where people were picking apples, but all decided about the same time we’d rather watch other people do that!  And we did!  From there, we went caravan-style to the Barden Family Orchard.  We wandered through the farm shop to sample wares and crowd watch.  Then it was on to the Dame Farm & Orchard in Snake Den State Park.  Gorgeous flowers, veggies and fruit!  The last stop was Confreda Farms where those who wanted to had a snack before heading for home.  A really nice outing!
