Welcome to Lost Nation, where the Impossible happens every day…

Apples are 'organics' final frontier.' Many orchard 'experts' say that growing apples organically is flat-out impossible. Fortunately , Michael Phillips and growers like him didn`t listen. Phillips has been doing the impossible at his Lost Nation Orchard. His secrets? Hard work and a willingness to learn from nature.

The author began his quest with an honest question: 'How did our great-grandparents manage to grow good fruit, in the days when everyone was an organic grower, before we sprayed our trees with pesticides and fungicides?' Phillips combines the half-forgotten wisdom of a century ago with the latest scientific knowledge about pests that can plague apples and other tree fruits.

Whether you are a commercial orchardist, organic farmer, backyard enthusiast, or apple lover you will enjoy this unique 'old man's look through a young man's eyes.'
