Popular Apple Varieties (these apples can be shipped)

Empire (Baking, Salads, Dipping, Sauces, Eating) – Remains crisp when cut up for salads or for a quick snack.  Sweet and tart that holds up well for months after picking.

Fuji (Excellent Eating, Dipping, Sauces) – With a fantastic sweet and tart flavor, this Japanese apple will stay crisp for weeks.

Gala (Excellent Eating, Salads, Sauces) – Crisp snappy bite with a mellow sweetness.  Looks great and has a hint of pear taste.

Golden Delicious (Baking, Salads, Sauces, Eating) – With a gingery-smooth, sweet taste, this popular yellow apple is also great in the kitchen for any purpose
Granny doesn't like having her picture taken, but she's green.

Granny Smith (Excellent Dipping, Baking, Eating) – With a firm, crisp texture, this dark green apple is an excellent choice for caramel apples where its extreme tartness balances the sweetness of the caramel.

Honeycrisp (Excellent Eating, Salads) – Very unique color, excellent sweet flavor, and a great crisp bite.  Call us in early September to find out when Honeycrisp will be ripe.  They go fast.

Ida Red (Excellent Baking, Salads, Dipping, Sauces, Eating) – One of the best all around apples.  With a sweetly tart taste, Ida Red will remain crisp and juicy for months after picking.  The texture holds up well when baking.

Jonagold (Excellent Eating, Baking, Salads, Dipping, Sauce) – With sweet and tart in each bite, this large and aromatic will have you wanting more.

McIntosh (Salads, Sauces, Eating, Baking) – An ultra-juicy,  lightly tart apple that is a favorite among all ages.

Northern Spy (Excellent Baking, Salads, Dipping, Sauces) – This historic apple is the absolute best apple for baking.  Its beauty is beneath its skin.  It holds up extremely well when baking in pies and other dishes.  It will remain hard and tart longer than any other apple.

Paula Red (Eating, Baking, Sauces) – With tart flavor and good aroma, this Michigan native is great apple for late August and September.

Red Delicious (Salads, Eating) - Discovered over 100 years ago in Iowa, Red Delicious has a full-flavored sweet taste with a crisp texture.
