Same contest as last year. Go apple picking in
one of VT's 24 orchards, find a wooden apple and
you win an iPod Nano, Shuffle or Touch from Small Dog Electronics. It's that easy. And in a worst case scenario, you go home with a bunch of fresh apples.
We gave it a try this weekend at
Liberty Orchard in Brookfield. You can find a list of all the participating orchards
here.
The lady at the gate said that the wooden apples are not painted and are brown. I looked while picking but all I saw was real apples.
No luck. However, as I said above, we still took home a bushel of sweet crisp apples. Now we just have to find a bunch of recipes for apple dishes.
How does apple jelly sound?
Oh, and the other upside is getting to spend an hour wandering around a picturesque landscape on a sunny fall afternoon. The iPod is completely unnecessary for it to be a good day.
One last note about apples. The
honeycrisp apples are now at the farmer's market. Just a freakishly good apple. The best.
