Over 30 years ago, my dad believed he could grow apples in Alaska, to the amusement of many who didn't believe so.
He always walked his own path in life and believed in the saying...... "Those who say it can't be done, will be interrupted by others doing it"
We now have an established Apple Orchard and the trees are large enough, that we've started inviting the general public out, so all of Fairbanks can enjoy what my dad created.
