The story of Tom Brown, the retired engineer that became 'apple hunter', rescuing over 1,000 'lost' varieties in the last 25 years
Retired chemical engineer, he began his quest to find and preserve lost apple varieties around more than 25 years ago.
The man who owns an apple orchard called Heritage Apples in Clemmons, North Carolina, USA has re-discovered over 1000 rare varieties of apples.
His Heritage Apples showcase at least 600 of them. He has been working so that the heirloom apples of Appalachia in the Eastern United States do not disappear with time.
Popularly known as the Apple-Hunter, Tom grows around 60 varieties of apples each year on his farm and sells around 1000 trees. To encourage more preservation, Brown offers to discounts on the purchase of rarer heritage varieties. Trees from Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and a few other places have found their forever homes in his orchard.

This 5 race stint with #NASCARonPrime has been incredible. From the pre-coverage sights and sounds to the in-depth post-race, and EVERYTHING in-between, it's been so refreshing to see a genuinely awesome presentation of the sport. Thank you for raising the bar @SportsonPrime
I hate to tell y’all this but Amazon Prime is killing the Coke 600 broadcast. I don’t remember a broadcast this good since the 2000s. Give me #NASCARonPrime for every race @DaleJr@NASCAR
