Michigan Apples book launch this Sunday
Apple trees are blossoming
in Michigan
I am excited to present my
book talk in Alpine Township on Sunday, May 17, at 2:00 p.m. at the Community Center, 2015 7 Mile Rd. NW. It is my first
official book signing for my new book, Michigan
Apples. Trees are blossoming and the Alpine Township region —
coined the “Fruit Ridge” — is where 65 to 70 percent of all Michigan apples
grow. Crazy, eh? Until you visit, it’s difficult to imagine miles of rolling
apple orchards in a 20 mile by 8 mile radius, just north of Grand Rapids.
History buffs and apple
and cider enthusiasts: join me this Sunday for insight into how apples first
arrived in Michigan — long before Johnny Appleseed’s plantings in the Ohio
Valley. Learn about Detroit’s 1700s orchards, the 1840 Log Cabin and Hard Cider
campaign and other intriguing apple anecdotes.
By the way, there will be antique tractors on display as well!
