Braeburn

Ripens mid to late September. We only have a few of this variety for customers who have special needs for this type of apple.

Gala

Ripens early to mid August. Great taste, but does not last long.

Golden Delicious

Best all purpose apple. Great taste and good for cooking. Good for blending in apple cider processing.

Granny-smith

Tart, good for candy apples, and for those who truly love a sour apple. Ripens mid to late October. Great keeper

Red Delicious

Alll a round good tasting apple. Good for eating, candy apples, for juicing, in salads and most anything you want to do with an apple. Ripens early to mid September. Moderate keeper.

Winesap

We have two varieties of winesaps. We have an old world variety and my favorite is the Stayman winesap. Perfect apple for juice. Has both a tart and a sweet flavor. Good for candy apples, salads, eating and a moderate keeper. Ripens late September and early October.

Arkansas Black Twig

We never have enough of this variety. The Arkansas Black is one of the most beautiful of apples. Originated in Arkansas about 1870 and is speculated to be a seedling of Winesap. Medium to large in size, the color is a lively red deepening on the exposed side to a purplish red or nearly black. Flesh is yellowish, very hard and crisp with a distinctive aromatic flavor. It is a long keeper that improves in storage. Ripens in October or November. Good for cider and cooking.
