Appleworm™ Orchard is the quixotic project of Randall Clark, a full-time professor of philosophy, an occasional lawyer, and (like his hero, Thomas Jefferson) an agrarian poseur.  Or, as Clark’s three sons say, a “whiteshoe redneck.”  (Note that they never object when served Dorking coq au vin or pan-seared Muscovy duck breast with venison-sausage stuffing.)  To which accusation he responds by reminding them that they are descended from a long line of Connecticut-Yankee bachelor farmers (on his side of the family) and line-bred Kentucky moonshiners (their mother’s).  He has lived with his family in Hollis, New Hampshire for over a dozen years and currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the town’s Agricultural Commission.  He is also involved in the activities of the town’s Boy Scout troop.  For more information regarding Mr. Clark’s professional work, please see his vanity page at www.randallbclark.com.
