About this episode
On this episode of Let's Pause, Mark and Jeff visit the James Creek Cider House and explore the ups and downs of starting and nurturing a small business selling fruit and crafting hard cider. What's a Southern heirloom or cider apple variety? Did you know that there are 7500 types of apples? How about the fact that an apple seed doesn't even know what kind of apple it is to become...until you whisper to it as it grows? What makes an apple an heirloom apple? David and Ann Marie Thornton, owners of the James Creek Cider House, walk us through their journey from London through European apples brought to a young America, through their peach orchard...and eventually to the tasting room!
