the APPLE
of my eye
I live within 10 miles of two fantastic apple orchards. Between them, they grow over 125+ varieties on more than 40,000 trees. With that many varieties, many are available year ’round via the orchards’ cold storage. But, fresh apple season is upon us. I cannot be more excited for apple leather, dried apples, apple tarts, apple pies, applesauce–all within close reach of home. This next Call also fins it home less than 10 miles from me. Take a look…
