Leave your grocery store apples at home and join our search for this most unusual Vermont fruit.

For photos from our journey, check out the web version of our story here. And if you want to read up on apples, here are three books that were helpful in our research:

  • Apples of Uncommon Character by Rowan Jacobsen (2014)
  • The Illustrated History of Apples in the US and Canada by Daniel J. Bussey (2017)
  • The Apples of New York by Spencer Ambrose Beach (1905)

    Thanks to Ben St. James of Barnet for the great question.

    This episode was reported by Sabine Poux. Editing and additional production from Burgess Brown and Josh Crane. Our intern is Camila Van Order González. Our executive producer is Angela Evancie. Theme music by Ty Gibbons; other music by Blue Dot Sessions.

    Special thanks to Catherine Morrissey, John Bunker, Ryan Yoder, Erin Robinson, Dan Bussey and Paige Heaverly.
