A few weeks back Tabitha and I headed north, to Rendleman Orchards, to check out their amenities and shoot some fall looks for you all! They had their pick your own pumpkin patch open and their gift store was in full swing! If you’re a local follower, Kentucky native, or southern Illinois gal, make to sure check them out! It’s totally worth the drive if you’re looking for a fun, fall afternoon!

They have some cute tees for sale! ‘Farmers are my kinda people’ is one of their bestsellers!

• The orchard is nestled in the hills of Southern Illinois’ Shawnee Nation Forest.
