385: Con Traas, The Apple Farm

Con Traas is an apple farmer with a difference.  Based just in Cahir, Co. Tipperary just outside Clonmel, he is the son of an apple farmers son again, with a difference. On this episode of The Sodshow Garden Podcast Con and Peter Donegan sit in a field to talk, on 2 tree stumps to chat just that.  From cider, lemonade and vinegar making to pruning, good husbandry and the future bearing in mind one section of apple trees was removed to make way for wildlife habitat. The list is pretty much endless the amount of hats he wears but, everything is done with such precision and a care and attention that any horticulturist would be proud of.  It's worth noting maybe that Peter was camping in The Apple Farm campsite, on holidays if you will whilst this was being recorded.   Subscribe to The Sodshow in iTunes, all good podcast stores and via www.sodshow.com Show Links: The Apple Farm Website: http://www.theapplefarm.com Con Traas on Twitter: @theapplefarmer The Apple Farm on Facebook: The Apple Farm Further information: Twitter: @sodshow facebook: The Sodshow instagram: sodshow
