Late September Apples

Cortland

A traditional apple that is white fleshed, and doesn't brown easily when cut, thus great for salads.  It is always present in our pies, as it stays relatively firm when baked.

 

Gala

Gala has flesh that is crisp, firm and juicy with a sweet flavor.  It is one of our favorites in our cider as it give the cider the sweetness and body that we like.  There are many varieties, of which we feature Fulford, Gale, and Twin Bee Gala.

Gravenstein

An “Old-World” apple dating to the 1600’s.  This apple is the national apple of Denmark,
and is the best apple for making apple sauce.

 

Honeycrisp

This exceptional new variety was developed from a Macoun and Honeygold cross at the
University of Minnesota. It grows best in our northern Midwest climate.  The fruit is mostly orange-red with a yellow background and is crisp, juicy, sweet apple has a rich flavor that has become very popular. Properly refrigerated, this apple will last up to 7 months!

Macintosh

We have three types of this old-time favorite - Pioneer Mac, Rogers Red, and Wentzel Mac, each with their own characteristics.  The Wentzel Mac name was coined by the nursery that propagated this apple from the Wentzel's backyard.  Be sure to try this one.
