Ron and Suzanne Joyner operate a small family-owned orchard and nursery located in the remote high mountains of Ashe County, North Carolina. They specialize in the collection and propagation of antique and heirloom apple varieties of the Appalachian Mountains as well as many other apple varieties of the world. They seek to preserve these old varieties in the hope that others may appreciate the incredible diversity of apples that once was a part of the cultural heritage of the Appalachian region. Their goal is to make these rare and unique apples once again widely available to the public.
