Preserving Fruit Varieties

Hosted by Nathan Leroy

Nathan Leroy
At the turn of the century,    there were thousands of varieties of the fruits and vegetables we eat each and every day. With the advent of industrialized, profit-driven farming, the variety has diminished significantly. On a special apple orchard in the Umbrian hills, Isabella Ragione and her family are dedicated to restoring that variety by seeking out and recovering rare fruit trees.
