Apple agriculture has roots in New England dating back to the 17thcentury. The apples of America's early cider tradition have been lost for a number of reasons, but the team at Shacksbury Cider started seeking out these lost varieties in Vermont five years ago. To date, they’ve sampled thousands of apples, made cider from over 150 unique trees and selected 12 varieties to propagate. They’ve grafted these 12 varieties to over a thousand trees, marking the beginning of the “Lost Apple Orchard.” Sample a few lost apple varieties and learn about the future of New England apple agriculture from David Dolginow, Co-founder of Shacksbury Cider.
