Walk with other Grav Lovers in the 2017 Apple Blossom Parade
Slow Food Russian River invitesย you to walk with other Grav Lovers in theย 2017 Apple Blossom Parade.
Our goal is to keep the Gravenstein Apple and all of our Farmers in the spotlight. As we celebrate our beautiful apple blossoms and anticipate a bountiful, healthy harvest, let’s come togetherย in proclaiming โTHE GRAVENSTEINS ARE COMINGโ!
Theย Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple is on Slow Food’s Ark of Taste.ย The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. By identifying and championing these foods we keep them in production and on our plates.
Gravensteins are in danger of becoming broadly extinct because of many reasons, the most observable of which areย their difficulty to harvestย and the alarming loss of land, as many orchards are being converted to vineyards or rural estates.
Contact person to join the paradeย Doug Conover
