Every fall, we love sharing some of the old, unusual apple varieties that make an orchard special-and these two are truly something special.
🌟 HUDSON’S GOLDEN GEM
A beautiful golden russet with an incredible sweet, nutty, pear-like flavor. Rich, complex and wonderfully different from the apples you find in a typical grocery store.
🍏 POMME GRIS
A true old-fashioned heirloom with a rich, sweet, nutty flavor balanced by a dramatic, pleasantly tart finish. Deeply flavorful and delicious eaten fresh.
🌳 Why are they called heirlooms?
Heirloom apples are varieties that have been grown and passed down for generations-often long before modern supermarket apples were developed. Many were treasured for their distinctive flavors, textures and character, but because they aren’t grown commercially on a large scale, they can be hard to find today.
That’s what makes these apples so special. ❤️
They offer a taste of apple-growing history-and flavors you simply don’t get from ordinary supermarket apples.
🍎 Limited quantities available in our Retail Barn at Autumn Hills Orchard.
If you love discovering unusual apples, these are worth seeking out!
