In the carousel shared with the post, William and Kate can be seen walking down the apple fields while Kate picked a few apples and the couple seemed to drink juice pressed from the fresh fruits picked from the yard.

The future king and queen even rolled some dough for some fresh-apple pies.

In a previous post, uploaded for a few hours, Kate and William revealed that they also stopped at Mallon Farm in County Tyrone, another family farm known for reviving the traditional Irish linen industry.

“From field to fiber to fabric, Helen and Charlie rebuild a sustainable, local supply chain that celebrates creativity, cooperation and care of the environment,” the couple said of farm owners.

“A wonderful example of a positive, future -focused Northern Ireland,” they added.
