Taste Apple products
In the Biosphere Reserve area, apple growing is a pillar of the local economy. Every fall, the apples generate much excitement. Thousands of visitors come to enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful landscape, and to savour crisp fresh-picked apples. The region’s various orchards offer more than 60 varieties of apples. This celebration of the apple is the result of months of effort—in winter and summer, apple growers must prune and maintain their apple trees. To pollinate the trees’ flowers, apple growers sometimes need help from bees. This collaboration between man and nature produces fruit that, come fall, is eaten or turned into juice, cider, pies, jams and other delicacies.
