Each year, Tito Phil’s family go apple picking and we’re happy to be part of that activity this year.
Our destination is Rougemont, meaning red mountain in French because of the numerous apple orchards in the area. Specifically, we went to Verger Trois Pommes. It is an hour drive from Montreal.
There are also several wineries in the area offering free wine tasting.Car lineups and traffic. Apple picking is a very popular fall activity here.The apple trees at Verger Trois Pommes (Three Apples Orchard)You can pick the variety you want.We found our tree and ready to pick.The apples look good.Red and ready to be picked.Some good apples are up there.You climb a ladder to reach them. Tito Phil showed us how.The apple picking began.You choose your apple.Clean it, rub it……and make it shiny.Then taste it.If it is sour, you can toss it to the ground.
The rule here is that you can eat as many apples as you want, but you can only take home the apples that you can fit in the farm-bought plastic bag… and don’t waste!
So you taste your apple……and taste……and taste……and taste……until you find the apples that you like.Les trois pommes et trois garçons. (Three apples and three boys)This is Gabby and he loved his apple.

KQOTD. I teased my youngest, “Gabby! How can you bite your apple when you have missing teeth?” Gabby (proudly) “From my side teeth, Mom!”
