Hi there! I'm Albie the Apple and I spend most of my time learning with all the children that visit Turnastone Court Farm Education Centre in Herefordshire. I am an apple, grown in one of Herefordshire's traditional orchards. Do you know there are lots of different types of apples? What is your favourite type? Do you know if it is native to this country?
