This morning we headed south along I-28 to see Yakima with
its apple orchards, other fruit and vegetable production along with numerous
wineries in the Columbia and Yakima valleys. Packing a picnic lunch we departed for sightseeing and some
shopping for fruit (and a few veggies) before returning home. (I guess we have been traveling long
enough in the motor home that it has now become “home”).
We stop at a number of locations today enjoying fresh
produce, some tapas plates at a winery, lingered at the Chucker Cherries
factory store where everything we tasted was wonderful, and stopped at Jones
Farm’s location in Zillah, WA. Our
last stop was at J-Bell Wineries that has a major production of lavender in its
first year.
