Harvest time is a time when apple growers like Pablo Echanove get to witness the fruits of their labour after a long year of nurture, hard work and sometimes worry. Pablo has been with the DOP for 15 years now after converting from livestock farming to apple production at his farm in Sama de Grado. From the very beginning, he selected his verities of apple based on the DOP´s research and this year he was awarded with “Best apple producer 2014” for the quality of harvest for which he is very proud. In this video he explains what it means to him to be part of the DOP and how growing apples for cider is a fundamental part of the Asturian way of life.
