The Apple Man

By Martha Woodward

Winesap, Red Rome, McIntosh, Granny Smith — these varieties of apples and more can be purchased along side the roadway between Walland and Townsend at the base of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Salesman Wilford Inman, looks as if he stepped right out of a Norman Rockwell painting with his worn overalls, plaid shirt, gray beard and weathered skin. Inman is known by the nickname of The Apple Man. He will gladly sell you any amount of apples, from one to 1,000. 

A half peck of apples (about 24) sells for $5, a peck for $10 and a bushel for $15.
