I have always been a fruit fanatic - BUT nothing is better than a tree ripen apple from Devins Orchards - cortlands for eating, northern spies for pies, snows for Harvest Festivals and Wolf Rivers for baked apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in the hollowed out centers as they bake.

The county bordering ours is North Carolina's largest apple producing county. I love the "old" apples I recall as a child, Virginia Beauties, Rome, Cortland, Grimes Golden and McIntosh.

They sold for ten cts a kilo, they were big apples.
