Today in the orchard
Today we finally picked the Black Oxfords. We harvested close to thirty bushels from our three Black Oxford trees. We also picked the rest of other late varieties including Scout, one of our favorite seedlings "born" here on the farm. It’s time to get those late-season apples off the trees before the really cold nights freeze and destroy them. To get all the apples off the trees before dark we had to call in reinforcements - our neighbors Marc and Ava and our good friend Brett Mirliani who made his long, annual trek up from MA for this late season, pomological ritual. Thank you Brett!
