LATTIN COUNTRY CIDER MILL

Orange Pippin was established around 2005 by Richard Borrie, a database programmer living in England, after he was given a Kidd’s Orange Red apple tree as a birthday present. “I was so impressed by the flavour of these home-grown apples that I wanted everyone else to know about it, so I put my tasting notes on the Internet!”.
Other apple descriptions soon followed and the site rapidly established an international following with detailed tasting notes for hundreds of apples, and thousands of visitors every day. Richard’s particular interest was in the flavors and pedigrees of different apple varieties, and over time this variety database became the central feature of the Orange Pippin website.
At about the same time, Scott Chaussee, an apple enthusiast from Michigan USA, and Topper Sponsel, an orchard owner and apple breeder from Minnesota USA, established their own website - All About Apples. Scott explained how they started: “Topper and I wanted to build a community website that gave apple lovers a place to learn more about apples, and find orchards all across the country where they could go and get great tasting fresh apples and varieties you can’t get in your local grocery store.”
Like Orange Pippin, the All About Apples website grew rapidly in content and scope. Although both sites had begun life as hobby projects, over time they transformed into leading online resources, catering to the growing public interest in apples on both sides of the Atlantic.
Scott and Richard naturally became aware of each other and corresponded from time to time. Although Orange Pippin and All About Apples overlapped in some areas, for the most part they were distinctly different, reflecting the individual interests of their owners.
