WPCNR PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAY. By the WPCNR Roving Photographer. October 17, 2006: It's autumn in Westchester County, and just over on King Street in Greenwich, Connecticut is the original farmer's market: Purdy's Farm, where Del Zanette has presided over the area's best apples and cider, and vegetables  for 41 years. Purdy's Farm itself has been on the site for 90 years, Del says.

The CitizeNetReporter has been visiting Purdy's since I was 5, now 45 years later...like Playland Purdy's is still here.

Mr. Autumn: Del Zanette  at his Westchester-Connecticut tradition: Purdy's Farm on King Street just a mashi shot from Westchester County Airport. Mr. Purdy, one of the area's working farmers grows his vegetables, tomatoes, egg plant, squash and other organic delights on his two acres in Greenwich horse country. He offers the tasty  crispy, semi-sweet McCoon's apples now in season, plus Cortland, Delicious, Golden Delicious, Galas and other unique apple choices grown at  Glory Farm in Marlboro, New York. He still supervises the making of his apple cider at a friend's farm upstate, delivering a full-bodied and mellow old fashioned apple cider.  Currently he is planting Rye wheat on his acreage, which he plows over and it serves as fertilizer for next year's crop.  It would not be autumn in Westchester County without Del Purdy and his stand. Photo by the WPCNR Roving Photographer
