Bringing back the Gravenstein apple
More from
The Splendid Table
Northern California is wine country, but there was a long history of apple orchards before vineyards came to dominate the landscape. Now, some locals are hoping their beloved Gravenstein apple and its cider can carve out a space in Sonoma County. Jennie Cecil Moore tells the story.
[Ed. note: The Gravenstein Apple Fair takes place every August in Sebastapol, CA. For further apple-related content, check the links below.]
