Baba Manzana’s workshop and home are contained within a very old and craggy apple tree outside the village. North of the Waving Meadow there’s an old and somewhat forgotten orchard of apple trees, that still produce fruit for those who ask, adjacent to the creek and the nearby property of an old farmhouse. This is where Baba has always been and always will be. Some say she was planted in the ground and from her grew the apple trees. Others say she was born of a blossom in place of a fruit. Regardless of her origin she has been a deeply valued member of the community for many ages.
