Did you know that one morning, every fall, the all of Blue Q shuts down for a few hours? It's true! We don't tell anyone we're going, but we sneak off to a local orchard and pick apples. (Shout out to Barlett's, woooo!)

We go for the tart fruit, the cider, the doughnuts and the autumnal air, of course. But it's also just a great way to get out and celebrate the season as a group, before the dawn of the next season, which is the holiday season, which is the busiest season of all the seasons for companies like ours.

 And each and every fall, after we prance through the rows of Macs, Cortlands and Ida Reds, pick to our collective hearts' content and get jacked up on fructose, we pose for portraits. This year we grouped people according to the first letter of their first names. Amber and Abby, Bill and Barry, Chris and… well, you get it.

For us, it's kind of like getting a yearbook photo taken - that is, if you went to school exclusively filled with people you really liked. Or, if you went to a school that offered unlimited access to cider donuts. Even if you didn't, click on the photo below to enjoy a sweet and crispy selection from this year's portrait session!
