Cider Days is coming up: http://www.ciderday.org/
Actually it's weeks away but I'm counting down. This year the Franklin County, Massachusetts Cider Days festival falls on November 4th & 5th. I'm hoping to visit at least part of it this year.
What I want is to find an orchard that sells untreated cider. They pasturize almost everything these days so that nobody dies of E-Coli poisoning somthing they don't do with Spinach. Of course originally cider meant HARD cider which was alcoholic. Its only recently yankees began to favor beer over cider. Like beer, cider has under six or seven percent alcohol and tastes best with some sparkle
The fest is for all who love apples, fresh or hard cider, apple cuisine, apple orchards or just being in New England in the fall. There is a small charge for some of the activities but there is no admission for the self-guided tour of orchards.
Orchards have given food and drink to New England for centuries. It is here that apples grow flavorful and juicy. Among those apple varieties Baldwin, Newton Pippin, Roxbury Russet were bred here.
