Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Labor Day is on the horizon, and although fall wonā€™t technically start for a couple of weeks, it typically marks the end of summer. I would be sad, but honestly, this summer has been hot and fall is the best season in Ohio anyway! One of the best parts of autumn is that thereā€™s so much to enjoy. From corn mazes and pumpkin patches to football games and fall festivals, itā€™s time to kick off the most wonderful time of year. And thereā€™s no better way than with a delicious, farm-to-jug sip of Apple Cider.
