A good source for FORTH is

	Mountain View Press, Inc.
	P.O. Box 4656
	Mountain View, CA 94040
	(415) 961-4103

They offer a variety of FORTH systems for various computers, including apples.
They also offer a good selection of FORTH literature.  See their full-page
ad in BYTE.

I run a fig-FORTH which I got from them and which I have extensively modified
over the last couple years to improve the disk I/O and add new features.  This
approach requires quite a bit of programming, some of it in assembly language.
They also offer ready-to-install systems.

If your primary interest is in writing graphics applications, rather than
running existing FORTH software, you might want to look at "graFORTH" by
Paul Lutus, available from Insoft or from Mountain View Press.  This is
not a standard FORTH, but I have read that it is a reasonably powerful
FORTH-like environment for writing graphics applications.
