US 25 in South Carolina is truly the Fruit Corridor. I have acquired the habit of peach shopping in spring. Now I know also to look for apples in fall. I happened upon Seven Springs during a leisurely return from Asheville. The proprietors are very helpful in explaining their fruit. They are also very liberal with apple slices.
This shot gives you some idea of both the range of varieties they stock as well as the sheer number of apples they have on hand. I left with a half bushel of several varietiess: Arkansas Black, Fuji, and a couple of others. They are in cold storage at the moment; their eventual destinations will be in apple butter, applesauce, and apple cake.
