Why Upstate New York?
They don’t call it “Apple Country” for nothing! As the official state fruit since 1976, apples thrive in the New York seasons. The warm spring-summer-fall are perfect for successfully producing an array of fruits and vegetables including winter squash, peaches, cherries, small fruits, but apples do best because of the cold in winter, moderate summer, and medium to high humidity.
