Bearing Fruit: A Podcast from the Washington State Tree Fruit Association (WSTFA)
Bearing Fruit comes from the Pacific Time Zone, in Washington state, USA. I am Bob Larson, host of Bearing Fruit, brought to you by the Washington State Tree Fruit Association. To begin with, Bearing Fruit will be a monthly, 30 minute +/- podcast. If we have more news than will fit into a 30 minute segment, we may produce additional podcasts to fill the need. Our content will vary from month to month, but it will have something to do with the latest news from the tree fruit industry in Washington state.
