Ready for fresh, crisp, juicy fall Ohio apples? Hope so – this year will be a bumper crop in Northeast Ohio. There will be more than 8 lbs. of apples available for each Ohioan, so plan to be very healthy and munch many apples!
There are so many apples, the branches are bending and breaking. Check out the Plain Dealer story above!
Today we are heading out to pick apples or enjoy some really splendid farm experiences, and I thought I would share a few great places to pick apples locally so you can have some fun too!
