John Bunker is an American orchardist, gardener, and apple historian. He is an expert on American apples and their history and was the founder of the mail order nursery Fedco Trees, a division of the cooperative Fedco Seeds. For most of his life, he has worked to investigate, search for and preserve rare old apple varieties from across Maine and the New England region. His work and methods are documented in his book, Apples and the Art of Detection: Tracking Down, Identifying, and Preserving Rare Apples. In 2012, he founded the Maine Heritage Orchard in collaboration with the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association in Unity, Maine. Today, the orchard serves as a publicly accessible living monument to the apple trees of Maine and New England. He created the Out on a Limb Apples CSA (community supported agriculture) to save and savor the heirloom apples of Maine. Learn more at https://www.outonalimbapples.com/.
