On a cheerful Wednesday in mid October, a friend and I took a detour on our way to farmers market and visited Baldwin Common in Wilmington, Massachusetts. There we paid our respects to the man who popularized the Baldwin apple. ¶ Baldwin is a great apple , once the most celebrated in New England and perhaps America. ¶ They are ripe in mid October. A farmer at our weekly market grows them.
