Blending tradition with local flavor, the farm offers a warm country atmosphere where visitors can enjoy “pick-your-own” fruits like apples, pears, and peaches during the harvest season.

It is noteworthy that the apples originated from one place on earth. Their wild ancestors grew and ripened in the forests in the mountainous region of Kazakhstan. The juicy apples, as we know and taste them today, came a long way over the centuries.
The following benefits of eating apples will surely encourage you to remember to eat more of them!
They are high in nutrients: packed with anti-oxidants, fiber, vitamin C. An apple boosts the performance of your immune system!
They do wonders for your heart and liver. Eating apples makes your liver function better thanks to a high level of pectin. Pectin aids our digestive tract with releasing toxins which in turn helps our liver to cleanse and detoxify itself and the rest of the body better. Impressive!
They are a perfect snack. An apple is a great alternative to eating junk food and it will help you satisfy your cravings even though its calorie count is not high. Medium sized apples will have approximately 60 calories.
They may help you with weight loss! Apples have that special ability to reduce our appetite due to high fiber content: more fiber keeps your tummy feeling full longer.
