It's Apple Time! I sell apples by the pound, not the bag. So you can buy just one apple or any amount you would like. It's a great way to buy apples. The varieties available will change from week to week so I'll keep you updated. They are all Minnesota Grown and have just excellent quality and flavor. I will probably have seconds available later for pies, sauces, apple butter or eating. Honeycrisp - Sweet-tart, crunchy. Excellent for fresh eating. SweeTango - Juicy, sweet, crunchy. Excellent for fresh eating as well as cooking and baking. Chestnut Crab - Sweet, firm. Good for fresh eating or sauce.
