As apple season gets underway, take a break from your fruit-picking, sauce-making, and pie-baking to listen to this podcast with Michael Phillips, author of [1] The Apple Grower: A Guide for the Organic Orchardist.

An expert when it comes to small-scale organic orcharding, Michael gives workshops throughout the year at agricultural conferences, to community groups, and at his home in New Hampshire - Heartsong Farm.

Growing apples organically is no small task, but Michael has a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience with pest- and disease-management, heritage apple varieties, and maintaining the health of the orchard ecosystem. He discusses these and more in the following interview with [2] Agricultural Innovations.
