We have the following apple varieties in good supply as of 10/8/11 available at the farm stand. Here are some descriptions to help you choose!
Gala: small to medium. Extremely crisp/crunchy sweet and flavorful. Great eating. Excellent storage for 3 months with refrigeration.
Macoun: A crisper, crunchier, more aromatic, less tart McIntosh type. Great eating.
Liberty: Crisp and juicy. A bit tart – similar to Macoun. Very good eating. Good baking and sauce.
Empire: Firmer, slighty sweeter McIntosh type. Great eating. Very good baking and sauce. Stores very well for 3-4 months in fridge.
Spencer: A McIntosh and Golden Delicious cross. Crisp and juicy. Medium to large sized. Nicely sweet-tart. Excellent eating, very good baking and sauce. Stores 3-4 months. (Gordie’s favorite)
Jonagold: A Golden Delicious and Jonathan cross, but better than either. Crisp, juicy, sweet-tart, loaded with flavor. Large sized. Stores 3-4 months. Great eating and cooking.
Senshu: Sweet, crisp and flavorful. Same parentage as Fujii but an earlier apple. Excellent eating. Stores for 3-4 months. Don’t be put off by its appearance.
Sister of Fortune: (aka NY428) Cross of Empire and Spy. Firm with McIntosh flavor. Excellent eating. Super flavorful cooking. (Andrea’s favorite)
