The People Talking

Emily Hallock-Ing - The Host

A self-titled “orchard heiress” (lol) and first time podcaster. Emily is on a mission to finally document the many musings of her father about his life’s work in the fruit tree industry.

Emily enjoys exploring New England with her husband, Neil, antiquing, making pottery, and trying to convince her dad that soccer is a legitimate sport.

Ed Ing - The Expert

The man with the answers. Ed is a fruit tree expert and fixture in the fruit industry for over 30 years. He was the 2024 recipient of the Silver Pear Award from the Washington Fruit Tree Research Commission. He serves on several fruit committees and research boards.

When he isn’t working (which is rare) Ed enjoys golfing, rooting for the Sooners, and bantering with his wife, Melissa, and three children, Emily, Alex, and Jonathan. He is also a newly doting grandpa to Jaycie Ing - who happens to share a birth date with the late George Ing.
