arrived at last after months of anticipation and the begrudging acceptance of the soft worried remains of last years fruit barrels we are once again able to stop in at our favorite vegetable mart and purchase batket of thli years crop of produce wilh vision of apple pie apple cider and hundreds of tatty recipet ttretchlng my apple motivated brain i followed a map recently printed in the acton free press and visited an advertised farm the day wat cold crisp but invigorating with the pungent odour of fretli fruit permeating the orchard area i breathed deeply filling my lungt with healthy farm air and my mind with nostalgic memories of that tame tangy odour of applet hanging in tempting array on other orchards on other farmt now maybe ilt because i wat a toronto born kid without the eaty accett to farm country that local retldenti in this area have but i do possets a special appreciation and retpecl for natural growth and preservation i wat interetted to hear from the proprletreu of the farm which i visited that school children from the city had been coming in clatt loadt to view the growing of fruit in its indigenous surroundings and i am delighted to know that at a time when farm magazines and other publications are proclaiming the end of the small fruit grower at least one courageous and unintimidated young couple are making a terrific success of their apple growing enterprise which they have developed and ate conducting with efficiency and clever manipulation from the ripening and picking stage of one type of apple into the ume ttaget of others with bags on the spot for energetic hand pickers and vehicles to transport loadt to customers cars i was also amazed at the simplicity with which one could reach out and pluck the luscious fruit from its stemmed position on the tree from which it hung so heavily dusty but red awaiting a pickers arrival to an apple mongers paradite well its fashionably to do things the eaty way but somehow the excitement of climbing into my uncles apple orchard creeping slowly along a crooked branch clad in my oldest clothing acceptable for such occasions and lotting apples down to expectant brother and sitters to collect and fill their barrels with a dripping mac in one hand and the other rapped around a bough is missing i was concerned to hear that city kids had to travel to far juit to see an apple growing in its natural habitat remembering my own escapades when with neighborhood cohorts clad in jeans and extralarge sweatthirtt we used to go apple swiping tucking shirts into trousers and filling the oversized apparel with rosy red appendages all the more delicious because of the conditions under which they had been procured the exhilarating experience of making like a tree branch when home owners fortunate or unfortunate enough to sport a fruit tree in their own backyard would rush out into the semtdaik it the sound of noisy trespassers wildly shouting threats of police to invisible culprits but pasun out treats of hot chocolate to those apprehended mingled withwords of admonishments of why nice children shouldnt swipe apples such crushing sentiment and chastisements would usually suffice until the equally delicious scent of ripened pears would eventually be superceded by black cherries im afraid iti accepted that with citys progressing orchards will be pushed further into the country and i guess that in today pampered society everything must be always simple and instant but tomehow not to have to work just a little to partake of i fresh apple from a tree teems to me to be doing things too much the easy way and 1 find it tad to realize that toon the ordinary 1945 common variety of apple trees will in the not distant future be considered collectors hems about which our future generations of children will only hear and those tempting red morsels already dewormed by expert cultivation and plucked from special trees dwarfed for aajy picking seem to identify with loo many of todays retirement easy to procure for the taking without the zest and excitement of having to reach up and work for it although 1 consider myself to be an updated individual alto enjoying alt the new freedoms of modem irving and looking forward to continual progress in its every facet i also firmly believe that to enjoy the very new things one must keep tome of the old and the fun of climlng trees to whit cultivated appetite is worthwhile childhood memory for all of us and one of which no child should be deprived
