Apples on Air

What’s in your glass? At Headwater Cider its all about Grow What You Press, Press What You Grow! Listen in to the Fabulous 413 as Monte and Kaliis spill the cider with proprietor Peter Mitchell and (yours truly) Extension Educator Elizabeth Garofalo.
February 14, 2025

Monte Belmonte and Kaliis Smith bring you The Fabulous 413, a new live, daily radio show and podcast celebrating life in western Massachusetts — and a kind of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" for grown-ups.

Join Monte and Kaliis as they  head up to the hilltown hinterlands to get a taste of an extra special beverage. Headwater Cider is making Ice Wine with their apple bounty, and we chat with proprietor Peter Mitchell about his apples and the many ciders they fashion in Hawley. We also talk with doctoral candidate Elizabeth Garofalo of UMass Extension about the science that helps those apples thrive.
