In Weekly Thing 299 I shared an article about the incredible Minnesota-made Honeycrisp apple. It highlighted how Honeycrisp swept the Apple market. But I don't recall it highlighting how "Made for Minnesota" the Honeycrisp apple is.
To satiate the public’s hunger for the Honeycrisp, a once highly seasonal apple available only in Minnesota, growers have made the apple variety available year-round by planting enough fruit to store for long periods of time. Planting the Honeycrisp in Washington marked not only the shift of the apple from its place of origin—Minnesota—to a growing region it wasn’t well suited to, but was also a shift from a more small-scale, local apple industry to one that was geared towards Big Apple from the start.
