My new favorite apple farm

Even though I haven't visited there yet, is Scott Farm in Dummerston, VT.  Their apples are now being sold at City Market, and over the weekend I decided to buy and try some... wow.  The varieties I pick locally are more or less the same regardless of the orchard I picked them at.  The Scott Farm heirloom varieties are a shift in what it means to eat an apple, with thicker skins and greater variability in texture and taste.  I still love empires and early macs and will probably continue to eat empires as my winter staple, but these are an amazing change of pace.
