Going apple-picking is a quintessentially glorious activity in September and October. Happily, New York State grows a large assortment of Johnny Appleseed’s favorite fruit, with many varieties available at U-Pick orchards.
Every year, jealous family members who live in the Mid-West ask me how I am enjoying my Crispins, my Ginger Golds, and my Honeycrisps. Sardonically, I remark that they are wonderful, but what about the Liberties, the Newton Pippins, and the Jonamacs?! Surely, apple-loving New Yorkers are a lucky bunch with well over 25 varieties.
www.nyapplecountry.com is a great website to get a complete listing of the U-Pick orchards in greater New York. I always brag to those Midwestern relatives when I am driving up to the orchard. But they’ve got the leg-up on me there: there are always better corn mazes in Ohio!
