The Rafter J neighborhood in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was developed in 1978 on what had been cattle grazing grasslands. Many of the crab apples in this subdivision are getting close to forty years old, and present a maturity that is hard to find in younger orchards. The trees here are abundant and survive on their own tenacity and hardiness. One of the most acclaimed apple trees in the valley appears right as you enter the subdivision. This tree stood long before the neighborhood was built, flying in the face of the common belief that apples can’t survive our harsh climate. Wild fermented, with no residual sugars or added sulphites.
