Honey Creek Acres Apple Crop, Sept 27, 2013

Nolan Bemrich, 2, tries a fresh-picked apple at Honey Creek Acres in Swisher on Friday September 27, 2013 as part of a field trip with his preschool, Education Station of North Liberty. The Fall crop of apples at Honey Creek and other orchards has matured ahead of schedule and in greater yields than seen recently. The weight of the apples on the trees has bent and even broken branches off. (Justin Torner/Freelance for the Gazette)
