Fall in New England means apples—and this week’s Outdoor Edge is all about celebrating the harvest. Host Joshua Smith welcomes Sheila Fabrizio from Windy Ridge Orchard of North Haverhill, NH, to talk about what it takes to run a working orchard, how to grow the best apples, and the traditions that make apple season so special. We’ll dive into behind-the-scenes orchard life, favorite varieties, family events, and how farms like Windy Ridge support the local community.

You’ll also hear Gary Moore’s “Thoughts on the Out of Doors”, offering timeless outdoor wisdom, and Mark Breen’s Outdoor Edge Weekend Forecast from the Fairbanks Museum to help you plan your next fall adventure.
