Let’s take a moment to discuss Ohio apples. We often forget that apples are infused with our state’s identity, though our magnificent array of orchards host fall festivals celebrating their harvest to this day. American pioneer and legendary figure John Chapman – a.k.a. Johnny Appleseed – planted many apple trees in the untamed Ohio frontier. These apples, however, were small and bitter, not at all the type you’d eat… but, rather, the type you might drink. Johnny Appleseed was actually planting orchards for cider, a much-appreciated feat that earned him a place in American history. Today, Ohio’s apples are often more appropriate for eating, but they make a cider so delicious that it would knock the socks off of John Chapman himself. Where can one indulge in locally-produced cider? Look no further than Ohio City.
