Traveling to Alstede Farms

October 13, 2014 · 2 Comments

Traveling to Alstede FarmsLast Sunday, couldn’t have been a more perfect fall morning. It was brightly sunny, and warm, of course to my liking, and just too beautiful to stay indoors. The day was calling for an adventure and a drive to my happy place, the farm. Alstede Farms is one of the biggest, and certified organic farms in New Jersey. They make their appearance at most farmer’s market, as well as their CSA program, so I’m fortunate to bring home their amazing produce weekly. But this morning, with orange pumpkins in sight we headed to their amazing farm. It seemed like everyone had the same thought, as it was busy, but I didn’t mind. Just being outside and seeing all the wonderful colors the season has to offer was perfect. Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede FarmsI already had gone apple picking early in the season to this orchard, but the best part of going a bit later are the abundance of different varieties of apples that are now ready to pick, and bring home. Plus, not to mention that now the iconic trees are in their colorful prime. The sky, a calming yet bold blue – the perfect backdrop, for rows of green trees overflowing with red apples, and an orange, yellow, and red rainbow of leaves. Even with some many people around, I felt at home, a peaceful happiness. I’ve been missing Portugal and in turn, living on the farm, and it was just what I needed. The fresh air, and nature all around. I even enjoyed all the families together, kids playing with the animals in the petting zoo, and some experiencing apple picking and being on a farm for the first time, and that will always put a smile on my face.  Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede FarmsAfter two boxes filled with apples to the brim, we headed to their already picked pumpkin patch, since my still-wobbly knee couldn’t make it to the patch with a camera in one hand and a heavy box in the other. From spooky looking gourds, to calming hues of greens, grays, and oranges, in the oddest of shapes. Each one lovely in their own unique way. Along with pick your orchards, vegetables and on-site market, Alstede Farms has an outdoor garden with beautiful fall flowers and decor. But the best part is their store filled with homemade baked goods, like their amazing apple cider donuts, so soft and light, and endless jars of jams and butters, gallons of freshly pressed apple cider. The day of course had the end with their equally delicious ice cream, and what’s better that a bowl of apple cider donut and pumpkin chocolate chip ice cream, which inspired me to make my own richly spiced pumpkin ice cream. It was the perfect way to enjoy nature and the fleeting warm days of Fall.  Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede FarmsTraveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms Traveling to Alstede Farms

    […] “When witches go riding, and black cats are seen. The moon laughs and whispers, ’tis Halloween”…Dressed to scare or defeat evil, trick-treaters transform themselves and for one night, head into the dark eery streets lined with flickering jack-o-lanterns, showcasing their costumes. This year I don’t have plans, but to see all the unique treaters, and cozy up to my favorite Halloween movies, like Hocus Pocus. Whatever you do to celebrate this spooky day, have fun and be safe. {picture first seen here} […]

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
