On Tuesday, October 7 at 6:30pm in the Belfast Free Library, apple expert John Bunker will give a presentation titled: "In search of the oldest apples in Maine.  What they teach us about the past, present and future."  He will describe his adventures tracking down, identifying and preserving rare historic varieties in Waldo County and elsewhere. Those with unfamiliar apple trees are encouraged to bring fruit for identification.

John Bunker has been farming in Maine for the past 40+ years. In 1984 he started Fedco Trees and has also served as President of the Board at MOFGA, where he continues to serve as a Board member.  He is the author of "Not Far from the Tree", a book outlining the history of apples in Palermo, Maine, and a graduate of Colby College.

This free presentation is sponsored by the Belfast Free Library and the Belfast Co-op.  The Belfast Free Library is located at 106 High Street in downtown Belfast. For additional information about this event, call the Library at (207) 338-3884 x10.
