Apples in Virginia

Season 1 Episode 105

Recently, there’s been a movement to return to some of the original varieties that apple connoisseurs say taste better than what is typically found in grocery stores today. Discover the story of the apple by visiting with a horticultural historian from Monticello and a foodways interpreter who brings the stories of enslaved persons to life.
