ABOUT THE BOOK 
Wild, Tamed, Lost, Revived: The Surprising Story of Apples in the South explores the shift in southern farming that led to disappearance of hundreds of uniquely southern apples, and documents today’s revival of southern varieties in preservation orchards, modern cideries and multi-generation southern orchards. Alongside this history I trace the arc of founding Foggy Ridge Cider and crafting the South’s first modern cider to the orchard’s role today in supplying apples to cidermakers across the region.
