Hey all,
Just wanted to tip the group off....
If you live in Apple country -- the season has started!
And... If you want to make some Cider from Apples... No better place to start than with Cheap apples...
If you find an Orchard -- Ask for "Cow apples" or "Deer apples" -- they are the small ones that don't make the grade for size.... Most good size orchards end up with pallets full of these little apples to get rid of... Otherwise, they can be really good stuff....
Yesterday, I bought 2 bushels of "Deer apples" for $6.00/bushel! You can get really screaming deals if you can deal with a pallet...
What kind of apples did I end up with?
Ginger gold
Red Delicious
Granny Smith
Gala
Mutsu
Fuji
Golden delicious
Best part -- 10 bad apples out of 2 whole bushels!
Thanks
John
