An Eden of Apples Tree-Mendus Fruit Inc.

Apples are the favorite fruit of western folklore and myth--so much so that a single bite of one of these delectable tree-rose hips has come to symbolize knowledge itself. And simultaneously, a fall from a simple life in a state of ignorant grace into our world of hardship and sin.

But where do apples go when they fall from grace? Apparently, they go to Eau Claire, Michigan and find an altogether pleasant home at Tree-Mendus Fruit, Inc., run by Herb Teichman and his family. In the nearly one square mile of orchards at Tree-Mendus they raise more than two hundred varieties of apples. They also make some of the finest apple cider, apple butter and jelly in the world. Cherries, plums, and pears round out this treasure trove of temperate fruits.

The table below provides links to materials about the fifty or so varieties we photographed or reviewed. Apple varieties are listed alphabetically. After the list of apples you'll find a list of other resources including five episodes of Expo Radio. Try following along in the Expo Radio Theater!
