Did You Know? The first batch of the green apples was "accidentally" grown in Australia by Maria Ann Smith back in 1868 and ever since, the apples have carried her name and are now grown worldwide.
The City of Ryde in NSW has a Granny Smith Festival each October to celebrate Maria Ann Smith and her "accident"!
Over 85,000 people attended last year alone!
Thanks for WeekendNotes 14 October Newsletter for this tid bit.
