Kathy,
Do you know what variety the apples are? I grew up surrounded by small scale apple growers who grew "heritage" varieties before it was trendy, and I am a sucker for a good tart crisp apple. I used to love going to roadside stands during apple season, we knew who had our favorite apples and would make the rounds depending on what was being picked. My mom designed the house we lived in to include a good "cold room" to store bushels of apples, along with the squash and potatoes from her garden. She still gardens over an acre even though she is in her 80s; she bought a little Mantis tiller last year because my Dad can't do it for her anymore. I sure hope I'm going that strong at her age!
