As apple season progresses into that part of the year when a cheery cup of hot spiced apple cider at the farmstand starts to seem especially appealing, we offer the following varieties of apples on the stand: Winesap, Idared, Jonagold, Gala, Empire, Suncrisp, Pink Lady, and Braeburn. Don’t forget, we also feature our own cold-press apple cider, donuts, various baked goods including cookies, tarts and scones, as well as our generously-proportioned fruit pies.
