Honey Crisp
The
Honey Crisp is a new favorite and the pride
of our orchard. It was developed by the University
of Minnesota from a Macoun and Honeygold cross
in 1991 and is fairly new to Maine. It is an
exceptionally crisp and juicy apple that has
been shown to store exceptionally well for
many months in refrigerated conditions. An
exceptional apple for eating right off the
tree or in salads and in baked goods. Check

Paula Red
Our earliest apple
(formerly referred to as an early Mac)
ready for picking in early August with a
wonderfully tart taste and crisp texture
for that first taste of fall. Well suited
for applesauce. |

Cortland
White flesh, sweeter than a McIntosh.
An excellent dessert apple and super in
salads as it doesn’t brown very quickly. A
local favorite. |
 |
McIntosh
A New England
tradition! The McIntosh has been popular since
its discovery in 1811 because of its sweet tangy flavor and
tender flesh. An all around good apple for eating, baking,
sauce, salads and pies. |

Gala
The Gala apple was introduced in the United
States in the 1970s from New Zealand. It is
a smaller apple noted for its great dessert
characteristics. Good for eating and baking. |

Jonagold
The Jonagold is a cross between
a Golden Delicious and Jonathon. An excellent
cooking or dessert apple, it carries the
aroma of the Golden with the lively sweet-tart
flavor of the Jonathan. An excellent culinary
apple in salads or with strong cheeses. |
