Linda Hoffman of Old Frog Pond Farm, on being sold out of apples already:
“It’s a bonanza year for apples! We had our largest crop ever, but the beautiful September weekends brought in the multitudes. We’ve never sold out so early; usually we make it until Columbus Day. There seems to be an ever-increasing demand for organic apples.”
