New Orleans, LA – This week on the farmers Market Minute we look at Apples

Our friends up north must be jealous. Down south it's already apple season! If the weather cooperates, Jesse Nagle will be at the market this weekend with first of the season apples from his family's Cherry Creek Orchard in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Not sure where that is? Stop by the market Welcome Tent and check out the map of our vendors' farm locations. Cherry Creek Orchard grows all sorts of different varieties of apples: Paula Red, Gayla, Ultra Red, Red Delicious, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Candy Crisp, Pink Lady, Winesap, Granny Smith and Arkansas Black. Jesse can tell you about all of them. Just ask him!
