Sandy Hausman

When it comes to apple production, Virginia ranks sixth in the nation – well behind the leader: Washington State.  But it’s worth noting that farmers here offer a huge variety and Virginia's cider industry is growing.  Virginia Public Radio's Sandy Hausman stopped at the state’s oldest cidery to learn more about the fruit and its delectable juice.
