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.

Some of the best places for sharing your stories are in front of a cozy fire, at the foot of a child’s bed at bedtime, and also around the dinner table. And it’s that last environment we’d like to focus on today. Not only is the dinner table the perfect place to swap stories, but it’s also where some of the best stories are made. On today’s episode of The Apple Seed you’ll hear a story about unexpected dinner guests from Barbara McBride-Smith; you’ll hear a story about an UNWELCOME dinner guest from Bobby Norfolk; you’ll even hear a discussion about a children’s book focused on a MOST WELCOME food – Fry Bread!
