Today in the orchard
Skylar and I spent the day going through all the orchards at the farm collecting specimens for the Common Ground Fair apple display this coming weekend. Our contributions will include some of the key “Maine” heirlooms that aren’t available elsewhere, as well as dozens of the rare varieties we have on trial. The display itself is one of the most popular features of the Fair. It’s a magnet that lures in hundreds of people all three days. It’s hard to resist. I and several of my fruit exploring comrades will be on hand at the “Hayloft Tent,” geeking out over the display, answering your apple questions and attempting to identify your apples. See you at the Fair!
