I&rsquo;m delighted to introduce you to the remarkable people &ndash;- apple growers, workers, scientists, historians, and more-- who make good apples possible.&nbsp;<br />&#8203;<br />Ask your favorite bookseller to order now:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781609384821">http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781609384821</a><br />or order directly from UI Press: <a href="https://www.uipress.uiowa.edu/books/2017-fall/good-apples.htm">https://www.uipress.uiowa.edu/books/2017-fall/good-apples.htm</a>&nbsp;<br /><br />
475Apples are so ordinary and so ubiquitous we often take them for granted. Yet it is surprisingly challenging to grow and sell this beloved fruit.&nbsp;<em><strong>Good Apples </strong></em>is for anyone who wants to go beyond the kitchen and backyard into the orchards, packing sheds, and cold storage rooms; into the laboratories and experiment stations; and into the warehouses, stockrooms, and marketing meetings, to better understand how we as citizens and eaters can sustain the farms that provide fruit and food for our communities.<br />&nbsp;<br />Susan Futrell has spent over thirty-five years working in sustainable food distribution, including more than a decade with apple growers in the Northeast. She shows us why producing diverse, tasty apples for today&rsquo;s market requires almost as much ingenuity and interdependence as building and maintaining a vibrant democracy.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;With authority and grace, <em>Good Apples </em>cuts all the way to the core of our present-day agricultural system, probing not only the challenges of producers but the responsibilities of consumers toward our favorite fruit. A great read and stunning debut for Susan Futrell.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Swander, author, <em>Farmscape: The Changing Rural Environment </em><br />&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;Susan Futrell weaves apple history, labor, production, and marketing issues around the frustrations, never-ending work, and unpredictable climate that apple growers cope with, sustained often only by passion and hope. Susan&rsquo;s keen observations of one of the world&rsquo;s great food commodities are reality checks for the industry and will enlighten both professionals and aspiring apple growers.&rdquo;&mdash;Tom Burford, author, <em>Apples of North America </em><br />&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;Join Susan Futrell&rsquo;s journey from New England to Iowa to Washington to meet the growers working to produce perfect apples with exactly the crunch and flavor people want. This is a story of the uncertainties of a changing climate, a dance of managing pests and weather and second- guessing a global, unforgiving apple market to make a living and hold onto the land. Susan Futrell issues a gentle call to action to embrace the dazzling complexity of farming with all of our compassion and intelligence.&rdquo;&mdash;Glenda Yoder, Farm Aid&nbsp;<br /><br />For more information, or to schedule a reading or presentation for your bookstore, food and sustainability studies course, apple festival, local food event, or other event, contact the author here:&nbsp;<a href="https://susanfutrell.ink/contact.html">https://susanfutrell.ink/contact.html</a></div></div>
