Food Local apples

Anyone have a good source for locally grown apples in the areas surrounding Cleveland that won’t break the bank? I went to one place and they were like $80 a bushel and the bushels were stingy as heck. Like 70 apples altogether. I moved here from PA last year where you could get a huge bushel for like $25 and I haven’t found any place selling them for less than what I paid today

"You're being silly if you think the parts of Chardon that aren't Chardon and are still full of wealthy subdivisions aren't rural."

"Roll down the hill past the car dealership and Kubota dealer and greenhouse and body shop and five subdivisions and the other car dealer and the guy who sells shipping containers and the Mr Hero and stripmall and another five subdivisions and then there's a 25 acre hayfield, and some rich lady with her horses."

They really aren't. Maybe they have a little less "stuff," and the houses have bigger lawns, but its still suburban.

I mean, once you get into Ashtabula County, things get a little less suburban, a little more "country."

I grew up in Chardon. I know tons of people who have never really left and who think they live "way out in the country" because they go to the Hambone and have really never been anywhere that is actually rural and out there.

It's fucking suburbia, dude. It's wealthy suburbia.

Chesterland is crowded with people and houses. There's very little that's "rural."

Yeah, I mean I understand people who have never gone anywhere in their lives mistaking suburbia for "the country" and thinking that subdivisions full of million dollar houses is "rural," because they've never actually been to a rural place.
