The Farm Report: Apples Are Awesome

Word on the street farm from my upstate orchard operatives: the "apple crop is 'vintage' this year as a warm summer and now cool nights have produced one of the most delicious crops recently."

Hell, yeah. All that city sweltering was worth something.

Hot off the apple wagon in the tri-state area:

Macintosh
Cortland
Macoun
Empire
Jonagold
Honeycrisp (mmm... honeycrisps....)

Now I'm wondering whether a vintage apple year translates to extra-yummy cider...
