We headed to Damascus to pick apples, and were thrilled to find calves in tiny pens that we could visit with. We were all completely captivated by the sweet guernsey calves, and were fascinated by the totally automated milking process. Cows wander into the barn when they want to be milked, and robots affix the milking machine and go to work. No people involved at all. Truly amazing. Then it was off to the orchard to pick 2 pecks of gala, fuji, buckeye, honey crisp, and golden delicious, as well as a couple of types I don't remember and we hadn't heard of. Fresh apples are the best apples!
