In Vermont, iPods grow on trees.
Well, sort of. The “Apples to iPods”event is back again throughout Vermont apple orchards this fall. Once again, we’re hiding specially-marked wooden apples in Vermont’s pick-your-own apple orchards all over the state. If you find one of these unique “iPod apples,” keep it and call 1-800-VERMONT because you’re a winner of an Apple iPod. One lucky winner will receive an Apple iPad. Participating pick your own apple orchards will have a hidden wooden apple just ripe for the picking! Find one and you get an iPod (as if the delicious apples you’ve picked along the way weren’t enough). The Perfect Autumn Activity As generations of visitors and Vermonters well-know, apple picking is one of the most popular activities in the state during Vermont’s stunning foliage season. There is something truly special about spending an amazing fall day in the hills of Vermont surrounded by the sweet smell of fresh apples and picking them with your own hands. Adding a free iPod to your bounty only makes it that much more special. The State Fruit, The State Pie Only in Vermont – where our legislature named the apple as our state fruit and the apple pie our state pie – will you find such a unique harvest as “Apples to iPods.” Vermont has almost 4,000 acres of commercial apple production, and the state’s leading apple varieties are McIntosh, Cortland, Red Delicious and Empire.
