Welcome back to the Port Pearls Almanac. As always, my name is Andy and I'm your host, and today

we're joined by Buzz Ferver of

A Perfect Circle Farm. You might know Buzz from his involvement with the rediscovery of parts

of John Hershey's farm in Downington, Pennsylvania, and not only is he a wonderful resource

of historical knowledge on the tree crop movement here in the United States, he's also a phenomenal

plant breeder with some

what makes his nursery bed so unique, and what you should be thinking about if you're interested

in starting a tree nursery. I know if you've enjoyed our past content, you're going to love this
