Instructor Bio
David Hamilton was born into a family and community in Fairview that has stewarded orchards in Fairview for about 100 years. David’s grandfather considered himself an orchardist and passed on a love of apple trees to his children and grandchildren. In 2020 David returned to the mountains from the Piedmont of NC and began to care for some trees in the family orchard and in the surrounding community. David is committed to learning about health and how humans can take good care of ourselves and the places we inhabit.
