Our latest interview broadcasting on WBCR-LP Great Barrington 97.7 FM and streaming at berkshireradio.org Mondays 10-11 AM through Sept. 3 is also here anytime.  Joe Pappas is the new orchard manager at Riiska Brook Orchard on New Hartford Road in Sandisfield, and he has extensive experience at numerous New England orchards and a passion to grow the healthiest and safest to eat fruit.  While totally organic is very difficult in apple orcharding, he is working on some of the latest methods to eliminate most toxic spraying, using trapping, careful monitoring, and biological ways to reduce pest pressure.  Apple season starts in early September and now is a time to learn more about all that it takes to make a successful apple season possible.  .
