Linvilla skyEvery fall, I get a hankering for Stayman-Winesap apples. And the best ones in the area come from Linvilla Orchards, outside of Media PA.  The apples are crisp and crunchy and slightly tart--great flavor!

 

 

I don't go there for the hayrides and otherLinvillaTrip child-oriented activities, but I did break down and buy a couple of little pumpkins to put on the stone wall in front of my house. The last time I had a pumpkin outside, someone smashed it, so it put me off of pumpkins for several years.

my wallBut this year, I have all the black and orange decorations in my living and dining rooms, and the fall grapevine wreath is on my front door, so guess I needed to spread some color outside too.  The display at Linvilla didn't seem as large as last year, but on a Friday afternoon, there were quite a few people there, most with small children in tow.

I always loved crisp and crunchy apples, with that said after a hundred years I only buy Jazz Apples:)Endre

Endre---I just did some checking and found that Stayman-Winesaps were developed in Kansas, and Jazz (which we don't have out East) came from New Zealand. But crisp and crunchy sounds good!

Good morning Carolyn. I like apples but must admit, never heard of a Stayman-Winesap. Enjoy your day!

Yes, Michael. They seem to be working on new ones all the time somewhere in the world!

Here in California, several miles from my home, we have Apple Hill, which comes alive this time of year.  Your photos remind me of Apple Hill.
