Autumn Harvest: Apples for baking and cider-making
By Christine Anne Piesyk | November 16, 2008 | 
Autumn. Leaves rustling around your feet as you walk across the yard. the vibrant yellows and burnt orange brilliance of the sugar maples is fading. Apples, ripe from the orchards, beckon, with a hint of apple pie and the warm taste of mulled cider.

Then the next farmer on down the road receives the message, if you will, and does the same in his barn, and so on and so on. Before long, every area within a ten mile radius of this place is perfumed with the smell of cut tobacco. This smell is comparable to a pep rally bonfire, or a warm log on the fire in winter, only much richer. «Read the rest of this article»
