The company will be hitting the road beginning in February, with a host of events beginning with on-camera cooking segments featuring one of BC Tree Fruits' apple growers, Darcel Markgraf. Darcel is also a nutritionist and will be incorporating apples into some of consumers' favorite dishes. The kid-friendly approach to increasing fruit consumption has inspired her to create recipes that include apple tacos, pizzas, and monster apple cookies.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/bctree012813ban.jpg" alt="images012813" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">BC Tree Fruits will also be conducting mall samplings in Calgary, Edmonton, and Saskatoon with the company's ambrosia apples.
