Abstract:

In 1997, the Horne Creek Living Historical Farm in Surry County created the Southern Heritage Apple Orchard to preserve the varieties of the fruit which are rapidly disappearing. Today 650 trees are growing to maturity. The orchard is the only state-supported one in the country dedicated to preserving the old varieties of apples.
