TODAY IN THE ORCHARD
Today Laura, Khris and I picked apples at the Apple Farm in Fairfield. We picked Chestnut Crab, Canadian Strawberry and King of Tompkins County. Later Laura picked Wealthy at Sandy River Orchard in Mercer. Most of the apples will be distributed through the CSA. Chestnut and Canadian Strawberry will also be featured at the Common Ground Fair tasting. Both tend to be just about at peak flavor on Fair weekend, and they often duke it out for first and second place. You can taste both in your CSA share or at The Fair on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Come find them (and us) at the Hayloft Tent.
