"A Passion for Preserving Heirloom Apples"

Wednesday, March 2, 2011 7:15 PM

Dan Bussey is an apple historian and the owner of Albion Prairie Cider Orchard in Edgerton, WI where he grows some 250 varieties of apples. He has worked with Gary Paul Nabhan on the Renewing America’s Food Traditions (RAFT) Alliance, managed by Slow Food USA, to preserve our "forgotten fruits" and is a past president of the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association. His book covering 14,000 apple varieties is scheduled to be published this year. Dan will talk about some of those and we'll have a chance to taste some cider from Albion Prairie.
