WHKP Welcomes You
To Apple Harvest Season
What a strange year! Corona has taken the Apple Festival
from us. There will be no King Apple Parade, no vendors up
and down Main Street, and no entertainment. But make no
mistake… there will be apples!!!
Henderson County has a bumper crop of apples this year.
All varieties appear to be healthy and ready for the taking.
Richard Rhodes WHKP’s Apple Harvest Magazine will highlight many of our
local apple growers – all of them have point of purchase stands.
Many of our growers have full bakeries now, in addition to their apples. If you haven’t had a
Henderson County “apple cider” donut – you have missed out.
WHKP salutes our growers during this trying time and we encourage you to use this booklet
to see our growers and local merchants who support them.
WHKP fm & am continue to lead all of
Henderson County in radio listeners.
We thank you for allowing us to be the
apple of your ear… for 74 years now.
Be sure and see pages 18-19, highlighting this year’s featured apple grower!

Johnny Appleseed
Actually, his name was John Chapman and he was
born in 1774. As far as his legend goes, he travelled
the country on foot introducing folks to apple trees.
Known for being barefooted most of the time, he
planted trees and entire nurseries in many states over
his 71 year life span.
He wasn’t just an apple nursery planter – he used
the apple to spread the good news of the gospel,
especially to children. During his time, he was known
as much as a preacher of the gospel as he was a
planter of apple trees.
© Wikipedia
John Chapman never married, and died a lifelong
vegetarian March 18, 1845. There is a Johnny Appleseed
Museum in Urbana, OH and in Fort Wayne, IN, where
he spent his final years, a minor league baseball team
is named in his honor, the Fort Wayne Tin Caps.

The Honeycrisp:
Star of the Show
Honeycrisp has been a runaway success in the country, and here in Henderson
County. Developed in the 1960s by the University of Minnesota, it was not
introduced into the market until the 1990s. The honeycrisp is a mix between the
Golden Delicious and the Macoun apple and is praised for its “touch of pear flavor.”
The ever-popular honeycrisp apple has rapidly become the most sought after
apple in Henderson County. While many local Henderson County growers
grow honeycrisp, they indicate it is a very hard to grow apple, and can be very
temperamental.
Many of our stands now cook with honeycrisp, and
honeycrisp apple pies are a definite fan favorite!
One of our local growers now produces candycrisp apples,
another new variety on the market. The candy crisp comes
in later than does the honeycrisp.

Grower of the
Year...
Jimmy Nix
“
We have been
truly blessed, and I
thank God everyday.
e Allen Nix (left).
”
Jimmy Nix (right) and wife Fay ~ Jimmy Nix
Jimmy Nix, a second-generation farmer, grew up in the farming business. In
fact, his family farmed right here in Henderson County, just as his sons – Brent
and Mark – do today! And for many years, Jimmy sold chemicals to the local
farmers in addition to growing and selling his own apple crop.
Years ago, operating from a small shed on the property, the Nix family picked,
graded and hand-boxed their apples for sale. Today, Jimmy Nix & Sons Apples
owns and operates one of the largest – and the oldest – apple houses in apple
country.
In 1983 Jimmy was able to purchase the roadside building. After major repairs
and renovations, he opened for business in the fall of 1984. Now – 36 years
later – he has also added his own cold storage units so he can keep apples
longer. This allows Jimmy to have the ever-popular honeycrisp apple still
available long after the other local markets sell out. And a few years back,
Jimmy and his family expanded their apple business by acquiring an additional
packing house and cold storage facility on Pilot Mountain Road.www.whkp.com WHKP’s 2020 Apple Harvest Magazine • 19

The business and the farming have always been a family operation. Jimmy’s
wife of 47 years, Faye Allen Nix, his son Brent and wife Tammy, as well as
son Mark and wife Charlene, are also active in the business. They have three
grandchildren – Gracie, Alivia and Mason.
Jimmy Nix & Sons Apples is located at 3642 Chimney Rock Road and is now
open for the apple season. In addition to apples, they have peaches, pears and
other vegetables. They also carry local jams, jellies, honey and the like.
From growing, to grading, to picking, to selling at market, Jimmy Nix has seen
all facets of the apple business. One of the testaments to the success of Jimmy
is the many returning customers – both wholesale and retail – that choose to
get their apples from the Nix family annually.
Pastor Dan Blackwell of Dana Baptist Church says, “Jimmy is a mighty fine
fellow – faithful to the church, and loved by many!”
Local apple grower Deb Lyda stated, “Jimmy is a wonderful neighbor and
helpful to the community. His apple growing skills are among the very best in
our profession.”

How ‘Bout Them Apples?
Henderson County first saw settlers moving here back in 1783. These folks
brought with them seeds for vegetables and flowers, hogs, chickens, and cows…
but, more importantly, most all of these settlers brought fruit tree seedlings.
William Mills has been credited with starting the apple industry here in
Henderson County, though many dispute that he was the original “Johnny
Appleseed” for the county. Mills did name many of the areas in the county,
including Fruitland – one of the many apple-producing areas of Henderson
County.
In 1860 the first mention of fruit as a “money crop” appears. Early apple
varieties included: Ben Davis, Arkansas Black, Carolina Red June, Fried Sweet,
Green Cheese, Grimes Golden, Green Pippin, Hoover, Hollow Leg, Jonathon,
Limbertwig, May Apple, Rome Beauty, Sheepnose, Winesap, Wolf River, and
Yellow Transparent. It is interesting to note that many of these original apples
are still grown in Henderson County today.
In the 1920s local grower William Dalton began to experiment with new
apple varieties and is credited with developing the King Luscious apple.
By the 1930s growers were buying trucks to haul all the Henderson County
apples to market.
Melvin Lane opened the first refrigerated apple house in Henderson County
in the 1940s. Prior to this some growers packed apples in ice for transport.
In 1946 the Apple Festival originated – and this was about the same year the
first tractors appeared in the county.
After WWII truckers from near by southern states began coming to
Henderson County to buy apples and haul them across the country.
The 1950s saw apples booming and that is when the first cardboard box for
apples appeared. Prior to that, it was wooden crates.
New apples have arrived now in the county – the ever-popular Honeycrisp,
Pink Lady, Mutsu and many others.
Our local growers still work 15-18 hours a day during picking time, and pray
for no hail or late frost.www.whkp.com WHKP’s 2020 Apple Harvest Magazine • 29
