1 mile south of U.S. 50 at Clay City, Illinois is a small 12 acre fruit farm. Mrs. Wray has been working on this orchard with her husband since 1982. Her husband died a few years back so now she and her daughter keep it going. She had some fresh peaches, some Ozark Gold, Gala, Jonathan, and Red Delicious apples when we stopped by. Also inside her little store was some local honey, fresh apple cider, various jellies and salsas.
The boys enjoyed the orchard very much, as there were lots of apples to pick and enjoy. It was great to take the boys to an orchard as I have fond memories of doing the same thing.
