Apple State of Bliss

The Food Channel made a trip to Washington, America’s premier apple state, to check out this year’s fall harvest. We got a chance to roam the orchards of the Rainier Fruit Co., and have a first-hand look at the company’s high-tech production and storage facilities—and best of all, the opportunity to taste some of the newer apple varieties. We let you know which varieties were the apple of our eye, and provide links to some fabulous fall recipes featuring the tasty, juicy fruit.

America’s #1 Farmers Market

There can be no denying the exploding popularity of farmers markets across the U.S. It’s the trendy place to see and be seen these days. But arguably the best of these many markets is one that’s been around for over 100 years: Pike Place Market in Seattle. Part vegetable stand, part fish market, part tourist stop, this place is high-energy all the time. Take a trip with us to this foodie highlight of the Pacific Northwest.
