Apple of our eye: The history and future of a beloved fruit
Manage episode 443372801 series 1162310
It’s apple season here in Connecticut. And the history of the apple in New England dates back to 1623, three years after the landing of the Mayflower.
Back in 2023, a late season frost devastated crops at several farms across our state. Farmers reported damage to a number of fruit crops including pears, peaches, berries and yes, even apples.
There are thousands of apple varieties world wide, with only a fraction of which are grown in our state. But apple lovers and enthusiasts are working to bring new varieties to local orchards near you.
Today is all about apples. Later, we hear about the origins of apple cider.
GUESTS:
- Evan Lentz: Assistant Extension Educator in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at UConn
- Jim Wargo: Grower and Owner of Hidden Gem Orchard
- Craig Cavallo: co-author of American Cider and co-owner of Golden Russet Cafe and Grocery in Rhinebeck, New York
