If you haven't had a chance to hear John speak about apples in person, you might enjoy listening to this radio interview that aired last week on WPKN's show The Organic Farmstand. John talks about how apples first got to North America, the basic botany of tree fruit, and the historical uses of apples. He even shares a few stories of how he got started on his journey to track down and preserve old varieties. Here is the link to the interview: http://archives.wpkn.org/bookmarks/listen/89417
If the interview whets your appetite to learn more about apples, check out John's book, Not Far From the Tree, which continues the story. It's available at: https://outonalimbcsa.wordpress.com/goodies/
