By Sarah Wright When you live in the White Mountains and along Route 16, fall is a spectacular time. The crisp, cool weather brings with it beautiful leaf color, cozy sweaters, and most of all—apples and fall events! My family can’t get enough of farm apples and we look forward to picking them every year. Cortland and McIntosh continue to be favorites, but there are always unique varieties to try like Spartan or Yellow Transparents. Get ready for everything apple—apple cider, apple donuts, apple fritters, apple pie, and my favorite, apple crisp. We have some good apple orchards in the area, so let the picking begin! The Pine River Orchards at 314 Pine River Road in Effingham has many varieties of apples. It is a charming orchard, and a great spot for families; call 603-539-1605 or visit www.pineriverorchard.com. Butternut Farm in Farmington has over 20 varieties available on the picking schedule this year, such as Macintosh, Zestar, Sansa, Gala, and Ginger Gold. Stop in to purchase homemade jams and apple butters, apple cider, apple salsa, apple pie, and freshly made cinnamon sugar cider donuts. For the latest apple updates, call 603-335-4705. To reach the farm stand, dial 603-2316066. Butternut Farm is located at 195 Meaderboro Road in Farmington and at www.butternutfarm.net, where you can read about the different varieties.
