Meet Diane Flynt, author of “Wild, Tamed, Lost, Revived: The Surprising Story of Apples in the South.” Southerners at one time cultivated 2,000 apple varieties from Virginia to Mississippi. Today, many of those varieties have disappeared. Flynt has researched the history of apples, touching on connections to slavery, to theft of Indigenous lands, to Queen Victoria’s court, to Belgian immigrants, and to the Oregon Trail. She points to hopeful signs of restoration of many apple varieties in the future. Flynt left a corporate career in 1997 to found Foggy Ridge Cider in Carroll County, Virginia. She is a multiple James Beard nominee.
