Apples Ripen at Different Times
First Kiss
An early season favorite.
Zestar!:
Carol Traen’s favorite! Our earliest apple of the season. Everyone’s excited when the first juicy, sweet/tart tasting Zestar apples are picked! Available early Sept.
SweeTango:
Katie’s favorite! Parentage is the Honeycrisp and Zestar. Sweet and Tangy perfection! Available early Sept.
Honeycrisp:
A great mid-season apple of which our Reed can’t get enough! Juicy with a mildly aromatic flavor and a great storage life to boot! Uses: Excellent for eating, jazzing up a salad, or making a delicious dessert!
Haralson:
Rich’s favorite! A late-season crisp juicy and tart apple. Good for eating, cooking, and baking pies!
Keepsake:
Terri’s favorite! Fun Fact – One of the parents of the Honeycrisp apple. Wonderful sweet/crisp apple, smaller in size and picked late season with a great shelf life!
Sweet 16:
Paige and Matt’s favorite! Very sweet and succulent – some people compare it to candy!
Connell Red/Fireside:
Connell Red is a naturally occurring mutation of the fireside apple …pretty much the same apple. Big, sweet and firm with a complex flavor! Beautiful big apples that are wonderful baked with LuceLine Honey, raisins, walnuts and cinnamon. Uncle Jerry loves Connell Reds!
Snow Sweet:
Abby’s favorite! A sweet/tart taste with pretty white flesh, slow to brown when cut. Excellent for salads and desserts!
