@brightabyss end/ Day three, and we're back to maybe our favorite haunt of all: the planet's largest, most diverse collection of apples - some 4,500 unique cultivars. We've spent years now, out in all seasons, identifying, tracking, collecting and freely sharing the very best it has to offer.

@IlseKohler 1/ Here in the States, we're not so focused upon preserving intact eco-cultures - sadly, the historical co-existence between people and biodiversity is largely broken - as much as we are in *re-establishing* biocultural syntheses which 'click'. We do have some strengths, though.
