I was beyond thrilled to find this new gem of an orchard in sleepy little Monroe…read more It's the cutest place to pick apples! Be prepared to be greeted by rows and rows of dwarf and semi-dwarf apple trees. The size of the trees makes for super easy picking. The whole place is immaculate! They have a nice little barn/store area where you can buy pre-picked apples and other orchard made goods (pickles, pie filling, cider etc) The woman who runs the orchard was very nice. She even took the time to show us where the apples we were looking for were growing. I believe they are not open all week (I think their hours are Friday-Sunday). Anyway, next time I'm in the area I'm sure to be back!

I promised recipes for the blueberry powder and plan to send them soon.

Tom is a true master of his craft, which he's been studying and perfecting for twenty-three years now. He is the sole proprietor of Sow's Ear and does a terrific job all by himself. He is welcoming and friendly and engages his customers with great conversation while they test his six or seven different wines. Sow's Ear specializes in fruit wines made from organic local ingredients. The cider and sparkling cider are from Tom's own orchards, and he sources the rhubarbs for the rhubarb wine and "Rhu-bubbly" locally as well as the blueberries. The wild-growing choke cherries he picks himself and all of his ingredients are fresh and delicious. We bought a bottle of cider, which is a traditional English-style cider and quite unique, and a bottle of the blueberry wine and our only regret was that we couldn't come back again.

We also ordered several different bottles, be sure to try High Ridge Farm Cider! When I travel I want to try the best the area has to offer and High Ridge can only be purchased here or on the farm.
