I grew up on a farm that had an apple orchard. I don't feel like people appreciate them enough. Especially for us in the U.S., as most don't know that the apple tree actually comes all the way from Central Asia!
what type of farming sydtem are you involved in?
Not involved in one anymore! Just lived near one as a kid. It made me want to learn about them! For example, I learned that they've been grown for thousands of years in Asia/Europe, and then finally brought to North America by European colonists.
so what experience have you gained so far by your proximity?
My parents just used to be farmers, who had apples as well. They only had a couple types, or cultivars, of apples, of which there are 7,500. There are so many different kinds and flavors of apple, you could try a different one every day for a year, and it would take you 20 years to try them all!
what what are the flavors there is?
There's all kinds of flavors! Some are specifically bred to have tastes made for specific uses, like ones specifically for cooking, or to eat raw, or even for cider production.
