One of my biggest goals in life, is to make sure that when I finally get myself set up at the farm, that I can produce a reasonable amount of "Table" food, plus a surplus to sell in town. Reaching back into history tells us that just about every small farm in Ohio had it's own orchard. So one of my 2009 goals was to re-establish ours behind the barn. As I've said in the past, my interest generally falls to the heritage varieties. So I've collected a McIntosh, a Wealthy, a Jonathon, and today a Winesap and a Red Delicious. Along with a Bartlett Pear.
