Truly incredible. Just this past Sunday, while biking in scenic and
mildly polluted Bucks county, (near the famed Rigelsville Inn and
the smelly little town of Bethlehem, PA) we stopped by a farm 
stand; they had Jonathan apples at a $ for 4 lbs !! They were 
quite marvellous; they remained quite toothsome when subsequently
baked into a pie.

Apparently the reason why they are so cheap (when available on the
east coast) is that nobody knows about them. People usually
want the big-name designer apples. So if you see them, PLEASE
DON'T buy them; I'd rather they remained cheap. The farmperson
told me they are grown widely in Bucks county, PA.
