I grew up in the Apple

Submitted by Andrea Dickson on October 24, 2007 - 13:57.

I grew up in the Apple Capital of the World, as I've mentioned a few too many times before, and we used to just go to the orchards after harvest and pick up the leftovers. The late-ripening fruit was still delicious, and it would go to waste anyway. We generally checked with the orchardist first.

Mind you, this is back when it was common to have orchards IN TOWN. That no longer exists.
