TODAY IN THE ORCHARD

Bunk loading apples, St. Lawrence tree in the background

Today Cammy and the crew packed up apples for the first week of the CSA: Red Gravenstein, Milton and Zestar. In the afternoon Laura and I went to the Apple Farm in Fairfield and picked fourteen bushels of St. Lawrence and a bushel of what we provisionally call, “Munson.” We picked the St. Lawrence from two of the very old trees still remaining in the orchard. Both trees were loaded, and we could have picked another ten bushels off the two trees. The weather was clear and cool. It was a fantastic day to be out in the orchard picking apples.
