With fall in full swing, some CNY apple growers suggest that consumers plan apple-picking visits based on his or her favorite apple.

Apple season has arrived, and in Central New York, the apple-picking experience won’t be one of disappointment – apple growers have been preparing all year to make sure pickers receive the taste he or she expects.

The apple-picking season runs from mid-August to mid-October. Apple growers suggest that pickers plan a visit based on their favorite type of apple.

“People still think all of the apples are ready on one day and think they could come anytime and get their favorite variety, but you can’t,” said Warren Abbott, an apple grower at Abbott Farms.
