Apple Varieties We Have Available Right Now

Our apple season is in full swing and we are excited for you to come, pick your own, and enjoy what we have to offer. If you don’t want to pick your own, you can also come visit us in the farm stand where you can buy some that we’ve already picked for you! Also, while here, be sure to enjoy our other offerings, such as our petting zoo, food offerings (like our warm apple crisp), and more.

Here’s a look at the apple varieties that we have right now:

• Ginger Gold. Has skin that is a golden-green hue. They are somewhere between sweet and mildly tart. These are great for eating fresh and also taste amazing when baked – especially for apple pie.
• Gala. Has light red skin. Flavor is mildly sweet and slightly floral in its undertone. It has a fine texture that makes it a good all-purpose apple for snacking, baking, and more.

Please check our news page often to see what we have available and what our operating hours are. Note that for these apples, the orchards are just a short walk from the farm stand.
