Way off topic here but...
I'm going to be up in the Chicagoland area Sunday afternoon thru Wednesday AM.
I grew up in rural Michigan, and I'm going insane in South Texas without my September apples and fresh, unpasteurized cider. (Texas has this crappy law whereby it is illegal to sell apple cider that hasn't been pasteurized. The heathens!!)
Can anyone please recommend a great apple orchard I can visit on Sunday afternoon that's no more than about an hours drive from the Schaumburg area?
Thanks so much!
