Ep. 113 - Finding Heirloom Trees in Long Forgotten Homesteads

With Brendan from Posterity Ciderworks

Brendan from Posterity Ciderworks tells stories of how he finds neglected heirloom apple trees on long forgotten homesteads in California and uses them in his cider.

His adventures are like watching an apple treasure hunt reality show.
