Erin Fairbanks continues her exploration into the world of apples, orchards and cider on this week's episode of "The Farm Report" with guest Steve Wood of Poverty Lane Orchards and Farnum Hill Cider. Find out how apple picking and orchard development has changed over the years, due to packing machinery, industry demands and consumer trends.

Also, as always, tune in for the GrowNYC Market Update! This program was brought to you by Susty Party.

"I started working here in 1965 when I was a kid - so yeah, I guess I've got an apple growing background!" [1:45]

"Since packing machinery came around, the market started insisting on larger apples, waxed apples... the whole thing started to change dramatically." [3:33]

"For a lot of [apple] varieties bigger is not better - it's actually more boring." [10:55]

"Every patch of ground imposes conditions on what things can be grown well there." [12:00]

"A farm is not a natural environment - so the idea that people can grow things naturally is almost a joke to me." [26:28]

"When you plant an orchard - you're basically planting a candy shop for all kinds of organisms. It's very different from having an apple tree in your backyard or a cottage in the woods!" [28:27]

It's summertime, and that means it's time to fire up your grill! On this week's episode of Meet Your Maker, Rachel Wharton sits down with Ben Eisendrath of Grillworks in Michigan. Grillworks makes custom Argentine-style grills, and supplies many grill masters around the world, including Dan Barber, Adam Perry Lang, and Steven Raichlen. Hear about the different features of Grillworks' grills that make them in-line with traditional Argentine grilling. Hear about the grills that Grillworks made for Dan Barber at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and why they had to make a second. Hear why grilling with a wood fire is preferable to using charcoal with starter, as well as the importance of controlling the heat of your fire. Tune into Ben and Rachel's discussion to learn more about the art of grilling. Learn more at Grillery.com! This episode has been brought to you by White Oak Pastures.

"The most important thing is the ability to grill over whole wood, and the ability to control the heat with height. So you have a lot of things that exist in other grills, but they're all in this one. And it's a nice package." --Ben Eisendrath on Meet Your Maker
