Peach Pickin' at Eckerts

It's our summertime tradition...going to Eckert's to pick peaches. We love them, and we love all things peachy {cobbler, ice cream, pie, wine...you get the picture}. This year, before we went, we told Ava that she could ride the tractor. Well, that was all it took to excite her!


Peaches GaLoRe!!



The new addition at Eckert's this summer is a BRAND NEW country market. Completely state-of-the-art facility. They sell all kinds of home grown farmer's market kinds of things as well as fun, unique "farm" things.



Ava and the tractor. She kept calling it PawPaw's tractor :)



We soon realized that they hadn't opened the "pick your own" season for peaches yet. The crop was a little slim and there wasn't enough *excess* for everyone to go tromping through the fields. We were very disappointed at first and starting to wonder how on EARTH we were going to explain to a 2 1/2 year old that we weren't going to be able to ride the tractor after all...
BUT...fear not!! They were giving tractor rides!



Ava didn't care if we picked a single peach or not. She was there for the tractor ride! And thankfully - she got it.


We took a quick stroll through the market and found that they were very prepared and equiped for kiddos... An Ava sized grocery cart! We loved it... and she had a blast pushing it around.
