The September edition of W**d it & Reap is now available! Click on the link below to read.

But, how many of you know the history of this red delicious fruit, or its many cameos in our cultural lore? This issue hopes to peel back the skin and get to the core of just how ubiquitous apples are in human history. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kBtA8LCplLJ89RDmPMLtNwIetamo4Zwu/view?usp=sharing
