Built in 1838, our antebellum home and 19th century gardens are a step into the past.

apples all summer!
It has been an apple fest all summer! I am in mid season season form. This picture is from our "Early Harvest" variety that started producing mid June. We have gone through Liberty, Lincoln, and are now getting Arkansas Black. I have made gallons of cider as many of the apples are not pretty enough(bad spots) for Michelle to sell @ the Market. This is one of the side effects of not consistantly spraying. It is worth it to me because I want to have folks walk by the tree and be able to pick and eat an apple w/o having to take them inside to wash off any chemicals. So many fall on their own and have bruises, so off to the press for them!
