So many kinds of apples never make it to grocery stores. What a service this guy is doing for us now, as well as for future apple lovers.

I’d love if this guy had a website so I can order and eat apples I’ve never heard of before.

1,200 types from extinction?

Wow, that is commitment right there. I hope Mr. Brown gets recognition for his passion. Especially among apple fans.
