It's Apple Picking Season

By Cheryl Senter on Thursday, October 5, 2006.

Apple picking season in New England is fast and sweet.

The idea is to pick them before they drop.

And once their stems dry, the juice laden apples start dropping like crazy.

So, at Woodmont Orchards, nestled along side I-93 in Londonderry, workers are picking like crazy.

The Woodmont staff are working six and seven days a week to pick, clean, sort, box, and ship their Macs.
