Guest Grower

Typically available from late August to October.

We do grow some apples, but not enough to sell, so we source them from other Ontario farms.

Empire:

  • dark red, blush with a splash of yellow or green

  • juicy, firm and crisp

Gala:

  • thin yellow/orange skin with a red blush

  • best for: fresh snacking

Honey Crisp:

  • yellow speckled with red/pink blush
