Sometimes you over hear a date for something you tell yourself to remember for late, other dates get put on the calendar immediately. This is on of those dates.

There a very few things like a Fall day spent picking your own apples in an Illinois orchard. We're blessed to have many in northern Illinois. One of the most popular orchard destinations in the state is Edwards Apple Orchard. Edwards operates two locations in the area, 7061 Centerville Rd, Poplar Grove and Edwards West on Cemetery Road in Winnebago.
