But the story of the week is that the really good apples have started, propelled by cool evenings to ripen early with excellent flavor and crisp firmness. Zestar, Ginger Gold, Sansa, Mollie's Delicious start the parade of 75 varieties of apples that will grace Connor's tables before we close at the end of November. Taste them all at the stand.
