I didn’t go here with the intention of covering this establishment for the blog. I had my camera in the truck, saw some cool things to photograph and snapped a couple of pics (attached). Here’s the thing. Lyman Orchards is such a wonderful place to take yourself or your family that when I got home I realized I had to share.
So if you’ve been here before go back again during the fall. If you’ve never been take a ride over. I guarantee you if you went in with a frown you’ll leave with a smile and probably some terrific produce and bakery items. Enjoy my friends, enjoy!
