What great apples. I have never tasted such juicy and flavoursome apples.

My name is Claire and I’m an apple addict.

As I enter and drive along the long driveway my eyes are given a glimpse of the magical trees that produce these amazing, blushed nuggets of goodness. At the end of the drive the beauty reaches its peak as the stunning garden comes into view. A long row of roses is blessed by the most magnificent collection of well established, mature feature trees.

When I finally peel (pun intended) my eyes off the garden the next thing that appears to the left is an adorable wooden shed that made me think straight away of the movie Calamity Jane (showing my age - google it, millennials).

Eventually the memory of why I’ve come returns. APPLES! There it is! The Shed! I’m drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Then the lovely staff appear and ask what I’d like. Well, (awkward) in my mind I want the entire tub in front of me but I know I can’t eat them all so I give myself a mental slap to the head and ask for 3 kg. I get seconds. I can’t understand why these are seconds. They are stunning.

As I hand over my coins, in my head, I’m already eating one. All I can think of now is to get back to the car so I can get my laughing gear around one of these babies.

Teeth in. Break skin. Spurt of juice. Crrruncheroonie! Oops! I think my heart stopped! Oh! There it goes again. I just sit in awe practicing mindful eating while I enjoy the first few crunchy, fresh, sweet, wonderful mouthfuls.

At some point my mind returns from heaven on Earth and my thoughts intrude on my apple moment with the reality that I’ve got to get on with the rest of my day. I drive at crawling pace as I soak up that garden once more, then drool at the sight of rows upon rows of apple trees and finally turn out of the driveway. Still munching on my delicious treat as I drive away, I’m empowered by knowing I have fully restocked my secret weapon for another week.

Crunch, crunch, slurp, slurp, munch, munch, yum, yum.

Thank you for what you do Fankhauser Apples.

The best apples at the best price and an absolutely beautiful garden around their home that we always admire when we visit. Staffed by family and friends who are all adorable.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee
