  • Apple - McIntosh

    06 Mar 2020 
    I thoroughly enjoyed eating this crisp apple. It had the perfect level of sweetness and bitter all in one and the color was impeccable. 10/10 apples would recommend to my fellow farmers and apple connoisseurs

  • Apple - Kanzi

    02 Mar 2020 
    This was the first time I ever had a Kanzi. I sat munching on it while browsing my phone and at one point was taken a-back with how delicious I found it! To me, it tasted like a cross between the best honeycrisp I've ever had and the best nectarine I ever had. I was so impressed that I brought them up in conversation with my family. I am impressed and will definitely buy again if i find them. As someone else noted, they are on the pricier side. I must now find a Jazz apple for the comparison.

  • Apple - Kiku

    29 Feb 2020 
    The Kiku is the best apple I’ve EVER eaten. It’s sweet, crispy, juicy, and just plain delicious! They are only available for a month or two the beginning of the year so I buy several dozen so I can enjoy them for months to come. I’ve learned if I store the Kiku apples in a cool location that they will keep up to a year - when I don’t eat them all before then 😁

  • Apple - Braeburn

    24 Feb 2020 
    Really good with cheddar cheese!! So delicious

  • Apple - Chieftain

    Could anyone please comment on the season of this apple? When is it ripe for you? I have one but it hasn't fruited yet.
