Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers.

Where do heroes come from anyway? Some of our heroes are people we have heard about in history, people who have accomplished grand and noble things. Some of heroes may be people we know personally, like a family ember or friend. We might know other heroes from the stories that we love. Wherever we may find a hero, one thing is for sure: heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and so it stands to reason that there might just be a spark of a hero in each one of us.
