An apple revival near Four Corners is restoring hundreds of historic fruits — and the local ag economy


The Four Corners region in southwest Colorado has become home to nearly 500 varietals of apples, revitalizing the industry as a whole, thanks to the Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project. The practice of researching and replicating apple varietals has spread to other areas of the state and has helped in promoting the concept of farm to table for both communities and businesses such as in the cider industry.
