Yah. Somebody did mention organics earlier, so we got the alar spam. When we eat in-season, right off your neighbors tree is better and you can get more interesting fruit. I have no problem with big apple growers selling a good product, but assuming someone is only buying local to avoid the long gone alar scare is idiotic.
