There's a Subscription For That is a new series spotlighting subscriptions the team at My Subscription Addiction finds interesting and is excited to share with readers.
If you're lucky enough to live in an apple-growing region, you may celebrate the arrival of fall by packing up a picnic lunch and heading out to a nearby orchard to pick your own apples. Most of the farms that open up their gates to DIY pickers offer seemingly endless rows of apple trees, and the fruit-filled branches are difficult to resist. (We dare you to go apple picking and not come home with pounds and pounds of fruit!) For adventurous eaters and bakers, it can be fun to explore the side range of varieties available. Some apples, like Gala, Red Delicious, Macintosh, and Fuji, are great for eating. While others like Braeburn, GrannySmith, and Cortland are best for baking. Your local orchard may even offer hybrid varieties or heirlooms you can't find in the grocery store! Don't happen to live somewhere with apple orchards nearby? Not to worry. There's a subscription that will bring orchard-fresh apples to you!

If you'd like to receive a single shipment of apples or send some as a gift, there are options in the online store. You can select the variety you'd like, choose how many apples to receive, and either pick them up at the Turkey Knob headquarters or have them shipped to your door. If you want to receive a shipment of apples every single month, there are subscriptions available. Currently, the shortest available subscription is 3 months long, and the longest is 6. Let's take a closer look at the Apple of the Month Club.
