National Avocado Day was this past Sunday — but how did this popular fruit come to the United States in the first place? David Fairchild was an agricultural explorer who introduced over 200,000 varieties of plants to the United States in the early 1900s, including the avocado. He is also the namesake of our David Fairchild Society, a passionate community of FONA supporters.
