This man is doing gods work in this endevour. I imagine if he wanted to he could make a fortune just selling to small businesses that would sell them to people that would pay more for something they never have had before.

Even seed sales would make him rich getting the seeds to distant areas that would keep the varieties alive after hurricanes in other areas had made them almost nonexistent.

Now stories like this are making my day, seeing people doing priceless deed for just knowing it's the right thing to do.

Just White People Things....

Really off beat story, enjoyed thanks for posting

old farm house in oregon the apple people rediscovered like 200 lost varieties

Tom is an amazing guy and a wealth of knowledge! Talked/worked with him on a few occasions a few years ago identifying some old heirloom apples that were on our land in SW VA. He helped my wife and i ID them and with the secondary help of a small family owned orchard/nursery we found in NC that specialized in antique and heirloom apples, we now have 10 Virginia Beauty apple trees to start our orchard with. :)

Good ol' Johnny Appleseed.....
