Frequently asked questions
General
• Gala Wildfires: The season begins in early to mid-August with Gala Wildfires. These small, delightful apples are perfect for elementary school lunches and make excellent snacks for small children.
• Gala Buckeyes (Gala Simmons): Maturing in late August, Gala Buckeyes are a lively part of the Gala apple family, which has become a favorite across America.
• Honeycrisp (Firestorm and Royal Reds): Our early September apples, Honeycrisp, in two distinct strains, were planted as part of our experimentation with different rootstocks. These underpinnings of apple trees are the foundation for our orchard.
• Crimson Crisp: Ripening in late September or early October, these apples are known for their sweet, sharp, and spicy flavor. They are excellent for both eating and cooking, and they are genetically unrelated to Honeycrisp
• PinkLady Barnsby: Harvested in late October, this early strain of PinkLady stands out for its elegant shape, tall and slender. It graces our orchard with early blossoms and late-lingering leaves into the winter months..
• EverCrisp: A cross between Honeycrisp and Fuji apples, these gems mature in early November and are highly regarded by apple connoisseurs.
• Aztec Fujis: Our last apple of the season, harvested just after EverCrisp, Aztec Fujis are often the largest in our orchard and boast a deep red color. They are widely considered the best Fujis on the market.
