There are more than 20,000 growers producing apples across all 50 states. But there are only 10 that are the best in the country and one is in Central New York.
From Binghamton to Syracuse and everywhere in between (even some places in Pennsylvania), these are some of the best pick-your-own apple orchards in the region.
All over New York and across much of the country, people are paying more to buy apple cider, according to publish reports. This year’s apple crop was decimated by an unusually warm early spring, followed by a hard frost and then a dry summer.
Republican assemblymen Jim Tedisco, Pete Lopez and Steve McLaughlin called a special session of the legislature yesterday to pass a tax relief bill for New York’s apple farmers.
