Northland Apples


Off season, but sweet and very welcome. A pint of Northland Apple Cider from  Ricker Hill Orchards in Turner Maine.Their website lists Baldwins, Wealthy, Duchess, Black Oxford, Yellow Transparent, and Northern Spys all on their U-Pick varieties in the Fall. I'll have to visit them in about seven months.  Yellow Transparents actually come due in July. they are a particularly cinematic apple, being waxy in appearance and ghostly pale. I've wanted to try one for years.
