neighbors who have since moved planted these, probably to set at least some visual barrier between their house and ours when we first moved in. Apple orchards are a bit farther out than we are, on Route 66. We used to go when the kids were little to pick them there.
The festival is held in the community where several large orchards are-about 20 miles away. MrT5 and I used to go to one where you paid $7.00 to pick a basket of apples-about 1/2 bushel.
