How do you like to eat an apple? Bringing Apples to Life: A Story of Perseverance, Collaboration, and Innovation features how Virginia apple growers and cider-makers bring apples to life and how their businesses continue to evolve to meet market demand and adapt to emergent opportunities. The video, along with three accompanying videos, was created to showcase this Virginia food value chain as part of a USDA-AMS Local Food Promotion Program grant. Virginia Tech and Virginia Cooperative Extension thank Adam’s Apples and Herbs, Glaize Apples, Marker-Miller Orchards Farm Market, Old Town Cidery, Rinker’s Apple Cider, and Woodbine Farm Market for participating in this video production.
