Apple pickin' season

New York state is justifiably famous for its apple crop, and you won't find better apples, or a more pleasant way to spend an autumn afternoon, than at The Apple Station.

The orchard is located off the beaten path in Union Springs, just east of Cayuga Lake, along with a sweet, old-fashioned shop - as sweet as the apples, cider and homemade mini-doughnuts sold inside.

Kathy and Bob Wintamute own and run the place, with help from their daughters. A farmer all his life and currently retired from the USDA, Bob says he was inspired to start growing apple trees 22 years ago when a fruit farm in the village of Cayuga went out of business.
