You might not be thinking of apples in August, but don't miss this one. It's good for just about any use - it makes a nice pink applesauce! Sweet and juicy.

mid to late August
One of Sharon's favorites. This is a big apple with a sweet-tart flavor. They don't hold on well on a windy day so when they are ripe, make haste to get here!

We love the flavor and texture. Not our best producer but if you can catch it,
it's a good one!

Who doesn't love Honeycrisp? It's big, sweet, crisp, bakes beautifully, and is a popular choice for fresh eating.

Super white flesh. This one is a great baking apple picked a week or so early and is sweet when ripe.

This is a favorite of our friend, Brad. A bit on the tart side, but easy to eat fresh. Great for baking and canning, and
keeps well.

The Red Delicious was developed in Iowa, and this is a descendant of that iconic apple. Mildly flavored, a favorite for many of our customers. Great keeper.

Chris thought these weren't worth keeping but customers disagreed! Related to a Red Delicious
but more flavorful.

late September to early October
We introduced this variety in 2022 and it was almost universally loved. It's sweet and crunchy. We haven't tried cooking with it yet, and we didn't have enough to store, but will let you know when we learn more.

late October
One of our experimental varieties - it ripens very late so it's tough to catch it before a hard freeze, but if you do, you will love it's complex flavor - some sweet, some tart, some vinous. It won't go to waste in a year with an early freeze because we will use it in our hard cider.

COMING 2025-ISH
If you are a regular customer, you know we sometimes run out of apples in early Sept because our favorite that time of year - Zestar - tends to fall off with the slightest breath of wind. We hope Triumph will help fill in that gap.
