Shelton cider mill, orchard fits the fall bill

By Stephanie Janucik

That crisp time of year is here once again, when pump-kins peek out
of supermarket windows, the smell of wood burning trails through the
air and fall foliage makes our world a little more beautiful.
At the slightest hint of fall, I take out the calendar and schedule
the activities: harvest fairs, corn mazes, Halloween parties, pumpkin
picking and, my most preferred, apple picking. I make it all a big
to-do, really, and I give my friends a lot of credit for entertaining
me every year.
Traditionally, we all prepare ourselves for a long ride to an orchard
in Guilford (everyone usually gets an invitation via e-mail) and hike
around all day, picking our apples. This year, however, was a little
different.
I decided to go back to school this fall and I was afraid I wasn't
going to have enough time to go apple picking at an orchard almost 45
minutes away, and I was almost dev-astated at the thought of breaking
the tradition.
As someone who grew up in Shelton, I should have known better. While
online research-ing orchards, I came across Beardsley's Cider Mill
and Or-chard (278 Leavenworth Road, Shelton; 926-1098). I'm ashamed
to admit that I never even knew it was there, espe-cially considering
it's been around since 1849.
So on a recent Saturday' my dedicated friends and I met at the
orchard in the White Hills section of Shelton to pick our apples
($1.15 a pound). On weekends through early No-vember, from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m., you can pick your own apples from the orchard's many dwarf
and semi-dwarf trees (10-to-14 feet tall for ef-fortless picking).
These trees date to the 1920s and are still being harvested today.
I checked Beardsley's Web site beforehand
(www.beardsleyscidermill.com) to see what kinds of apples were being
picked and came home with Jonagolds for bak-ing and Macouns for
eating. Liberty and Mutsu were also available.
It turned out great that Beardsley's orchard is smaller than what I'm
used to. I didn't have to hike for miles to find the apples I wanted.
A friendly man on a tractor came by as we were picking, telling us to
help ourselves to the blooming plum tree as well.
When my apple bags were full, we stopped in the cider mill. While
pumpkins, mums and country signs drew us in, fresh apple cider,
pumpkin and cider donuts and other rare kinds of apples adorned the
walls on the inside, where samples of apple cider and various jams
were available.
And for those of you not into baking, Beardsley's Cider Mill offers
frozen apple, blueberry and pecan pies, among others.
So next year, when this time of year comes around and I have a little
extra time, I'll still plan to visit Beardsley's. Until then, I'll
enjoy this crisp weather with my homemade apple pie and caramel
apples.

It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.

Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
