Hi,
Here is something interesting: Remember "Diet for a Small Planet"? The author, Frances Moore Lappé is giving a talk in Ithaca on Friday. Lecture time at this link: http://www.cals.cornell.edu/polson/inauguralevents.htm  also more info at this link: http://www.cals.cornell.edu/polson/hopesedge.htm  We are holding our third annual set of Autumn olive oil tastings: next tasting is Saturday, Sept. 29th 11 am - 7 pm  http://www.ludgatefarms.com/events.html (please bookmark).  Fall harvest is here in full force - pumpkins, gourds, winter squash, apples... check this photo gallery!! http://www.ludgatefarms.com/tourthestore.html We have a terrific selection of NYS apples from NY family farms. Every year we get many questions about the apples. Our apples are grown on regular family farms some of them here in Tompkins County. These apples have not been experimented with in any way: no biotech stuff... no hitech stuff... only plain fresh apples.  Just a few of the varieties available so far: Burgundy, Cortland, Gala, Gingergold, Honeycrisp, MacIntosh, Paula Red, Red Free. Empires and Macouns have just started!  I also wanted to mention that the hardy mums are still here and selling fast (in case you didn't get the last couple messages...) and they look really great this year! Also.. we have the same low price we've had for years (5 mums for $19.95) and... this year they are in bigger 8" diameter pots (at the same price as last year's 6" pots!!). For future Olive Oil tastings... http://www.ludgatefarms.com/events.html (click me!) check our web site and your email for dates.
Thanks again for reading this,
Mike
