Every fall, we love sharing some of the old, unusual apple varieties that make an orchard special-and these two are truly something special.
π HUDSONβS 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.
π 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.
π³ 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 arenβt grown commercially on a large scale, they can be hard to find today.
Thatβs what makes these apples so special. β€οΈ
They offer a taste of apple-growing history-and flavors you simply donβt get from ordinary supermarket apples.
π Limited quantities available in our Retail Barn at Autumn Hills Orchard.
If you love discovering unusual apples, these are worth seeking out!
