Macouns, Empires, Macs, Northern Spies, Honey Crisps. Those are just some of the varieties Vermont apple lovers can enjoy as they ripen in the autumn. As the apple season has begun, we head to the orchards to taste the varieties that are ripe and ready for picking, eating and baking.
We check in with Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association President Terry Bradshaw and some orchard operators. And we hear from Dave Wilcox, a state forester, about this year’s wild apple crop.
Also on the program, singer/songwriter Myra Flynn has just released her third CD, “Half Pigeon.” She joins us to perform some of her songs live from the VPR Performance Studio.
Broadcast Thurs 9/26/13 at Noon & 7PM
