Bob Burke is a zealous, enthusiastic lover of apples and apple farmers. He is rather a “mad professor” in that he is the creative, energizing force behind our free Community Apple Press, free apples for visiting tourists at the Sonoma County Airport among other projects. You can find him faithfully operating our free apple press at Luther Burbank Farm and the Gravenstein Apple Fair.

Paula Shatkin

Paula Shatkin has been a dedicated, committed, inspired member of our SFRR leadership team for 16 year.
