Middlebury was seeing its lowest levels of the year. An apple grower in Middlebury has struggled to grow apples and has no irrigation for the orchard. Neighboring farmers were working together by pooling resources and trying to get through the dry spell by innovating and creating “Cida,” a blend of apple cider and soda. The orchard was open for business and was selling apples provided by nearby orchards.
