On Sunday, we were invited to go with our friends Jim and Shawn to the Portland Nursery for their annual apple tasting and sale. They had about 60 varieties, though some of them were already sold out by the time we arrived on Sunday. It was a wonderful opportunity to taste apples that we wouldn't ordinarily find in the store. The apples were cheap only about 89cents a pound. I haven't found them that cheap for a long time. They were rated according to their sweetness or tartness, they also had pears to sample and sell. We bought some incredible apple cider there as well. They had free cider and popcorn for the crowd. There were a few other vendors selling candy and honey. There were also activities for the kids. The picture is of Shawn, Jim and Martin trying out the hard cider. We found that we didn't like it, much preferring the fresh crush cider available for sale. Afterwards we went to a local pub for lunch, great fall afternoon.
