Carter Mountain Orchard opens for the season this Friday, and we couldn't be more excited. Getting back to orchard season is one of the great glories of the year. And this year marks the premiere of the Spring Fling Craft Festival at Carter Mountain. It'll include music, crafts, hayrides—but we're headed out there for the food and wine tastings. Saturday and Sunday (4/17–4/18), 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
While we're talking about Carter Mountain, the good folks who run it (along with Chiles Peach Orchard) are putting together a cookbook of local foods and want a peek into your recipe box. Send your favorite recipe (with peaches and/or apples, natch) to CMOCookbook@yahoo.com. It may be selected to be part of the finished collection (scheduled to come out this summer).
