Comments on: Apple Varieties: A Small Selection http://www.povertylaneorchards.com Farnum Hill Cider fulfills the true meaning of the word “cider” -- an alcoholic beverage made from apples, exactly as a wine is fermented from grapes.

Give us a call at the orchard if you'd like to come by: 603 448 1511. I'll check on the Waitsfield placement as well -- we do generally sell there, but have had some recent cider shortages. Yikes!

It's not bad but think we could do better with "real" hard cider apples. I would like to graft some cider apple scionwood to some of our wild trees - do you have wood available? We are not too far away - up in the mountains of Starksboro, Vt. Thanks! Jeff PS - I looked for your cider at Mehuron's market in Waitsfield - they don't seem to have it in stock right now.

We are always happy to share our scion wood if you'd like to graft into your own trees someday. Also be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.fedcoseeds.com/trees/tasting.htm" rel="nofollow">FEDCO catalog</a> as they have a large # of antique, heirloom and cider varieties -- and a wealth of information too. You can purchase our real ciders online if you're quite determined -- or plan to visit NH and see what the past looked like for many New England orchards. All best, Corrie Thanks so much Dave.

I recall tramping through old abandoned apple orchards as a kid on cold, overcast late fall days in northeast Ohio in search of small game. Invariably, I'd come upon an old decrepit tree that still had a few apples hanging on it,or maybe even some good ones on the ground that the deer or rabbits hadn't nibbled on as yet,and I'd stash five or six in the pockets of my hunting coat to munch on throughout the day. Tasting those apples was ALWAYS an adventure, simply because the flavors were so intense, so very different from typically bland store-bought apples. This is not to say that they always tasted good, but as a rule, they were very good indeed. Today, I'm convinced that the flavor of those apples was made all the more pungent and complex (in addition to that inherent in the variety, whatever it was) by virtue of the at times extremely cold weather. They were quite wonderful! Upon biting into some of them, I would be treated to a mouthful of rich, cold hard cider;absolutely delicious! After perusing your excellent website, I am more determined to attempt growing some of these wonderfully flavorful apples and someday perhaps producing some cider of my own,something I've always wanted to do. Now I have to locate some of yours, a task that will likely prove daunting (as will growing apples) living in the Upstate of South Carolina. Keep up the good work! Prosit! dl I’ve had a thing for old apple varieties for as long as I can remember.
