Cosmic apples!

Columbia River by Joe Parks from Berkeley, CA

"Scott McDougall is one of the farmers who's making a big bet on Cosmic Crisp.

It goes back to believing in the apple," he says.

"You believe?" I ask.

"I believe!" he says, and chuckles.

Planting has begun at one of his company's orchards near the city of Wenatchee. It's a spectacular site — a giant natural amphitheater in the hills above the Columbia River."
