Our Organic Apples
Unique & Delicious Varieties
Our apple varieties offer diverse flavors and textures that you won’t find in the supermarket.
Our apple CSA emphasizes variety and diversity – members tell us every year that tasting the different varieties is a highlight of the CSA experience!
Read our complete lineup below. You won’t receive every variety in a single year. CSA members who receive a weekly box can expect to taste 20+ varieties over the delivery season.
We’ve chosen our varieties because they taste great and because they naturally resist disease, which allows us to grow beautiful, healthy apples using organic methods. Read more.
