NDCL students got a taste of autumn this week during a special Seasonal Taste Testing event hosted during lunch blocks. The cafeteria was filled with cozy fall vibes as students sampled freshly made donuts and crisp apple cider from Patterson Fruit Farm, a local favorite known for its classic fall treats.

The event, organized by yearbook, gave students a chance to celebrate the season together while enjoying a break from their regular lunch routine. Many described the experience as “the perfect taste of fall,” with fresh cider and sugary donuts that brought a little extra joy to the school day. NDCL students all agreed Patterson Fruit Farm has the Best cider around and their favorite donut was the apple cider donut!

From laughter with friends to the scent of cinnamon and apples filling the air, the Seasonal Taste Testing was the perfect way to welcome the fall season at NDCL — combining school spirit, community, and the simple pleasures of autumn. 

Thank you Patterson Fruit Farm, for always supporting the community and making memories that last a life time!

Patterson Fruit Farm + NDCL = Fall Fun Done Right!
