FESTIVE FALL, from page 4
"For us, this is one of the best years we've had in
10 years," Rogers said.
Many people who come to pick apples also end
up exploring the corn maze, picking pumpkins or
buying treats from the orchard's market.
"Hopefully, it will be bigger than ever," Rogers said.
Some of the local events coming up this fall include
the Rogers Family Orchard's Sixth Annual Fulton
County Day on the Farm scheduled for Sept. 27 from
noon to 4 p.m. Horse- and tractor-drawn wagon
rides, food and more will be offered, along with
apple picking and a selection of produce.
The second weekend of the 21st Annual Eagle Mills
Art and Craft Show will run Sept. 26 and 27. This
event will include more than 150 juried crafters featuring woodwork, quilts, baskets, florals, candles,
clothing, painting, nature photos, jewelry and more,
along with an open cider mill, bakery, ice cream and
fudge shop, gem mine and dino dig.
The Adirondack Country Store will hold a special
event, the Teddi Knapp & Fall Festival Weekend, on
Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will include
art for sale and apple cider.
On Nov. 6, the Wine & Chocolate Tasting at the Johnstown Masonic Lodge will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. The

F
ew items signal the fall harvest season more than the bright, orange
pumpkins that dot fields and liven up displays outside of homes and businesses. Come fall, many pumpkins are turned into grinning jack-o-lanterns just
in time for Halloween. But there are many other uses for pumpkins as well.
Pumpkins are believed to have originated in North America. Early Native
Americans relied on pumpkins as a source of food that helped them survive
long winters. Pumpkins could be roasted, baked, boiled, and dried, and they
were eaten and used as medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added to stews. The
shells of the pumpkins could be dried and used as eating and storage vessels.
While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the following are a
handful of additional ways this versatile fruit can be put to use.

Fall is a great season to enjoy festivals, farmer’s markets and craft fairs, as merchants look to liquidate inventory before they prepare for the rush of the upcoming holiday season. Cities, towns, hamlets, and everything in between will host
their share of open markets and more with great deals to be had, and fall is an ideal time to visit local shops and stands.

Food finds
As plants are harvested, many items are turned into delicious
treats. No autumn shopping excursion is complete until you smell
a fresh-baked apple pie or some apple cider doughnuts. Corn
breads and fritters, cranberry snacks and wines from nearby
wineries also are easy to find in autumn. These items make welcome additions to your own pantry, or bring a freshly made
treat to a friend or family member’s home when paying a visit.

Booths at these types of events tend to be diverse. Spend the

may find some hand-fashioned jewelry or home-crafted artisanal

Shopping local shops, farms and fairs is a great way to

TAILOR-MADE
FOR AUTUMN

all is a great time to enjoy the great outdoors. Beautiful fall foliage coupled with great weather
compel many people to spend ample time outdoors before the arrival of harsh winter weather
drives them back indoors. The following are a handful of activities that are tailor-made for fall.
• Raking leaves: While raking leaves might not jump out at you
as a great way to spend a nice fall afternoon, families often
find raking leaves together soon turns into a fun day in the yard.
Build leaf piles and let the kids jump in, and then do it again.
When raking, encourage kids to collect some colorful leaves
and set them aside. Once the raking is done, you can then
enjoy making some homemade crafts with the leaves you and
your youngsters just collected.
• Hiking: Hiking is a fun activity that can be enjoyed nearly
year-round, but it’s especially enjoyable in the fall. That’s because few things in nature are as captivating as a park or forest when the fall foliage is in full bloom. Early fall also boasts
ideal temperatures for hiking, as the mercury likely won’t rise
enough or sink low enough to produce the kind of extreme
temperatures that can compromise a hiker’s afternoon. Instead, fall temperatures tend to be mild and comfortable, allowing hikers to fully enjoy their often beautiful surroundings.
• Hayride: Hayrides are another fall tradition, and many farms
offer relaxing hayrides throughout fall. Younger children who
may tire if asked to patrol an apple orchard for apples might find
a hayride is more their speed. Some farms may even allow customers to walk the grounds and visit the animals on the premises.

• Apple picking: Perhaps no activity is more synonymous with
fall than apple picking. Many apple orchards encourage customers to come by and pick their own apples in the fall. Once
your family and you have scoured the orchard for the perfect
apples, relax with a cup of warm apple cider before returning home to make some homemade apple sauce and, of
course, a delicious apple pie.
• Corn maze: Visiting a corn maze is another activity that many
people instantly associate with fall. Some farmers transform
their cornfields into corn mazes once the temperatures dip, and
such mazes can be fun for adults and children alike. Though
adolescents can often be trusted to find their way through corn
mazes, younger kids should be accompanied by an adult.
• Pumpkin picking: Much like apple picking is best in fall, so
is pumpkin picking. Rather than buying your Halloween
pumpkin from the grocery store, where your options may be
limited, go straight to the source and pick your future jack-o’lantern from a nearby pumpkin patch, which will provide a
much wider selection. Let your youngsters pick their own
pumpkins and then spend the rest of the day carving them at
home. And don’t forget to save those seeds, which can be
roasted over an open flame to make a delicious snack.

T
he cool, crisp days of autumn have arrived. As fall foliage creates a colorful display and kids frolic in leaf piles
on the lawn, you may want to pay some mind to a few lesser known facts about this beloved time of year. Autumn may call to mind Halloween and the return of school, but there are other factors that make this season unique.

9. You’re bound to see pumpkins as part of
autumn decor. The pumpkin was first
named by the Greeks. They called this
edible orange item “pepon,” which
means “large melon.”
10. Fall is a peak migration time for many
species of birds. During autumn, birds will
fly to other areas as they seek more hospitable climates. The Arctic tern journeys
about 11,000 miles each way for its annual migration. That is like going all the
way across the United States about three
and a half times
11. Evergreen trees will not lose their leaves
like deciduous trees. Their leaves, also
called needles, are covered with a thick
wax. This wax protects the inner components of the needles, preventing them
from freezing.
12. Autumn also signals another colorful spectacle apart from the tree leaves. The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern
Lights, tends to be visible this time of year.
This is because geomagnetic storms are
about twice as likely to occur during the
fall thanks to cool evening weather.

HOW TO
STORE
FRESH APPLES
A
pples are a popular fruit that are grown in different places
around the world. Come autumn, apples can be seen filling farm stands and supermarkets all over North America.
Apples are available year-round, but many apple lovers insist there’s nothing better than plucking an apple directly off
the tree in the fall. Apple orchards and pick-your-own farms
are visited each autumn by apple lovers anxious for apples’
tart and juicy taste. Many people pick more apples than they
can eat in a few days, so it pays to learn how to store apples
properly so none of them go to waste.
Start by picking a variety of apple that won’t go bad too
quickly. Apple growers can make suggestions, but Jonathan,
Rome, Fuji, and Granny Smith varieties tend to last longer than
other varieties. Choose apples that are free of blemishes or soft
spots. The adage that “one bad apple can spoil the whole A few tricks of the trade can be employed to prevent apples
bunch” bears some truth. Apples give off ethylene gas as they from decaying.
decay, and a rotting apple can quickly affect nearby apples.
A good place to store apples in the short-term is in the refrigerator where it is cool. Put the apples in the crisper drawer.
Do not store them with vegetables, as the apples may cause the
veggies to ripen or rot prematurely. If you plan on long-term
storage, a few extra steps are necessary. Apples need to be individually wrapped so they will not come in contact with other
apples. Newsprint works great; just be sure to pick the pages
that are done in black ink because colored ink may contain
heavy metals.
Once wrapped, place each apple in a container padded with
more newspaper. Store this container in a cool place, such as a
garage, root cellar or screened-in porch. Apples can last a couple of months if stored in this manner. Keep apples away from
potatoes, as potatoes can cause the fruit to prematurely decay.
apple sauce. By boiling the apples and sealing them shut in
canning jars, that fresh apple taste can be enjoyed long after
the apples are picked. Consult with a canning expert about
the right way to begin the process. Fruits are generally canned
using a boiling-water canner. However, some fruits, like apples, can be canned with a pressure canner. Because apples
tend to discolor when the flesh meets the air, use a little lemon
juice to prevent this while canning.
Turning apples into candied apples also can help them keep
longer. Apples can be dipped into a sugary coating, caramel or
toffee to be enjoyed later on. Of course, you always can bake
apples into a pie as well, then freeze the pie for another day.
Autumn would be incomplete without apples. Get ready for
apple season by developing a storage plan before you visit
Another way to store apples is to turn them into preserves or the orchard.
