Additional story: This is TOM BROWN, a retired engineer from North Carolina, who, for the last 25 years, has saved over 1,200 Heritage type Apples from extinction, some of which come from solitary specimens, the absolute last of their kind.

HERITAGE APPLES are the apples of our Grandparents, and Great-Grandparents. Their uses were varied for drying, frying, fresh eating, Halloween treats, baking, brandy, cider, vinegar, livestock feed and much more.

The diversity of their shapes, sizes, colors, textures, tastes, and times of ripening was amazing.

For every early Farm Family, an extensive orchard was essential. These Old-Timey Apples are part of our Agricultural Heritage, but are rapidly being lost forever.

Tom Brown began to locate and save these apples since 1999. To date, over 1200 Heritage Apple Varieties have been discovered, with an actual original tree being found in each case!
