PieTree has since added peaches, pears, plums, strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins and even hops. “We’re still tweaking how we do this,” Margaret smiles. “And we’re lucky to have the road to separate the different sides.” The Waterford road splits the orchards into two parts: one side is organically grown, in its first year of a three-year organic certification, while the other side is conventional. Scott Miller, who has been the farm manager here at the orchard for four years, admits that Pietree’s organic label hasn’t yet been an obvious selling point. “The response hasn’t been over- whelming,” he says. “People don’t seem to care too much whether it’s grown organically or not.” He’s not altogether sure why, as the price difference isn’t extreme. A half bushel of non-organic apples costs $12, while a half bushel of the organic rings in at $15. Both varieties look healthy and blemish free. Scott is an apple tree aficionado, and is referred to as the Apple Doc. One of his many new projects is grafting new varieties onto old trees. “We had so many Red Delicious, I didn’t know what to do with them all,” he says, driving a Scott Miller, co-owner of PieTree Orchard (Sarah Earle/Mountain Ear Photo) Open weekends only, 9am to 5pm Saturdays, Sundays and Columbus Day.

He decided to do some experimenting, grafting a different variety of apple onto each pruned Red Delicious, a procedure that takes time, know-how and persistence. “People don’t realize how much work it takes to grow apples,” he says ruefully. “A good orchard is a product of good management.” The apple varieties being grown at Pietree are already plentiful. Vista Belle’s and Paula Red’s are ready as early as August, Macintosh and Cortland’s are ripe in September and then a slew of October fruit, such as Macoun, Northern Spies, Golden Delicious, and Winesap, one of the oldest apples in North America, come to fruition. Randall’s Orchards in Standish, Maine, will soon press Pietree apples into their own cider. Margaret reckons the peaches, plums and pears will take another three years to produce, but until then, there are plenty of apples to pick-your-own, or drop by the farm stand and buy a bag. Located at 803 Waterford Road, the stand is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The orchard has a website for more details at www.pietree.com as well. “I bought the .com, the .net and the .org for Pietree so there wouldn’t be any confusion,” laughs Margaret. And confusion there is not. Margaret and Scott both seem to have a clear vision and enthusiasm for this beautiful orchard in ▲ Organic apples flux. (Sarah Earle/Mountain Ear Photo)

The Mountain Ear, Thursday, October 9, 2008 - Page A9 Vacations in your own backyard KIDCATIONS in Mt. Washington Valley

By Marti Mayne Contributing Writer

T’S AMAZING TO ME HOW much more quickly Itime flies as one gets older. We’re approaching the peak of fall foliage season, and I can’t help but wonder where the year has gone. As I look back on the highlights of 2008, the first thing that comes to my mind is the special time I spent with my daughters last summer enjoying Mt Washington Valley. After promoting the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce for 19 years, this was my first vacation in the Valley. Knowing that the trend is closer- to-home vacations, I decided to experience the Valley from the eyes of a vacationer. I don’t like the term “staycation,” which con- notes pitching a tent in the living room and calling it fun. I prefer the idea of a “one tankation,” and I was happy to find that’s what Calli and Kim Han Fuller pose our three day jaunt was…with a at the Bartlett Covered Bridge quarter tank to spare. at White Mountain Golf.

Next, we headed up to Whitney’s Inn, where the kids knew a pool awaited. We got a clue on how family-friendly this resort inn was when we entered and the kids spied the thick glass candy jars filled with candy. The entire inn was renovated within the last year, after Don and Joyce Bilger bought it. The Adirondack-style log furniture and mirrors framed with branches are complimented by quilts embroi- dered with pine cones, pine boughs and whimsical bear-moose-porcu- pine fabrics. I got the chance to see some of the rooms at the inn, which also offered the beautiful hand- carved pine beds and Adirondack decor. They were quiet and romantic and offered just the right amenities — private fireplaces, beautiful views, and pet-friendly too. We all headed immediately for the pool, and made quick use of the very cool pool toys. The inn also offers a beautiful pond stocked with trout. We picked up our fishing rods and worms from the inn, and headed to the pond, but Kim Han stopped short when it came time to go over the bridge leading to the pond. “No Mama, a troll lives under there,” she exclaimed. Eventually, she ran across. (Note to self: lay off the scary fairy tales!). Breakfast was beautifully served in a dining room overlooking horses fabulous accommodations.

In addition to the cold temperatures, the Observatory recorded the first snow- fall of the season. Interns, volunteers, and even the observers were unable to contain their glee when winds picked up on Friday, sustained above 80 mph hour for some time, and gusted to 94.0 mph. The heartiest of the crew decided it would be great fun to race on the deck and brave the tower. With the highest winds since April, the crew was not disappointed. Strong winds, fog, and cold weather continued through late Monday night. Wind chills dropped below zero, and it truly felt like winter for the first time this season. As for the weather, a cold front crossed the area on Thursday. As the column of air cooled, the summit experienced all kinds of precipitation: rain, hail, ice pellets, freezing rain, snow, snow grains, and freezing drizzle all in one day! A strong upper level low kept the summits in the fog with some light precipitation through Monday as sur- face high pressure built into the area. Finally, on Monday night, as a high- amplitude ridge of high pressure edged the low out to sea, winds shift- ed to the northwest and provided an icy blast of air. The intensifying low in the east combined with a complex area of low pressure to the southwest worked to squash the isobars together, and winds picked up once again. Finally, late Monday night, the summit crew got a glimpse of the stars, and prepared to rise early to watch the first visible sunrise of the week. As for temperatures, they have been well below normal for the week, but that will soon average out as temperatures are forecast to rise to the upper 40s by Wednesday. The rime and snow and ice will melt, and the winter wonderland that one crew got to experience will fade with shift change. And that is how the rime crumbles. ▲

Amidst the press of apples, the pleasantry of politeness By John Harrigan Contributing Writer This is about politeness. We recently had a cider-pressing at our house. This is an annual event. We pressed around 12 gallons. In past years we’ve pressed anywhere from to 18 to 24. It all hinges on the first frost in the spring. This spring we were hit with a frost right after the first blossoms were ready to blossom. Hence, fewer apples to squish. So when we dragged the big press out onto the front lawn (it has two tubs and is a fairly heavy rig), there were fewer apples to press. What struck me were the kids (liter- ally, because they tended to tumble me at the knees). It was how much fun they were having — kids being kids. They rolled around the front yard. They went into the pastures oohing and arguing with the sheep. They kidded around with the pasture guard dogs, who would kill a coyote but would never hurt a kid. They threw water out of the tub near the porch and otherwise dubbed around to do themselves harm or the property. They did This is a cider pressing. People bring their own apples and we send kids (and their parents) out into the pasture to get others (apples, neither. The main thing is that they not kids or parents). There is a lot of food, big surprise. Also, plenty smoke, from plenty big fires. (Steve Kaneb Photo) were kids being kids.
