Apple 'Gibbon's Russet'. Not very russety. Not very flavourful. A hint of melon, not much acid, not much sugar either. Dry and mealy too. I think I left this one on the tree a bit too long. Maybe next year it will impress me more.

This year I'm eating Jersey Macs with a first-rate crunch, a mix of vinous and floral flavors, and a strong strawberry accent.

The orchard’s really been popping this year, so I thought I’d post a few pictures of what’s in, in case there be apple admirers among you.

Goldparmäne. King of the Pippins in English, Reine des Reinettes in French, I love this apple. Makes a damn good cider too. Despite what the illustrator wrote, it’s originally French, and apparently has been around since at least 1510. A very old variety.

That makes sense. I will put something together in the next couple of weeks, including a template for apple descriptions so they are consistent, and then I can recruit fellow apple nerds to assist.

McIntosh apples are from Canada, huh? So does this mean we *can't* eat them, or we *have to* eat them? 'Cause I'm kinda hoping for option A, honestly. (Cosmic Crisp forever.)

Ginger Golds, in eastern Massachusetts. Their season is short, and they don’t store well, so enjoy their zingy sweet-tart flavor while you can!

Here in a little pocket of WA we had some cider apples that survived prohibition. There are a few hidden groves of them. The apples develop so much internal sugar content that there are translucent pockets in the fruit. Unknown variety really. But a hidden gem.

How about McIntosh? Discovered by an Ontario farmer 200 years ago, Mac became the iconic apple for the entire Northeast. Alas Nova Scotia paid farmers to rip out McIntosh and plant Honeycrisp. As ye sow....

Welcome to the ONLY event about Apple happening today, as far as we know. We'll be running this as an AMAAA (Ask Me Anything About Apples). Ask your biggest Apple questions in the replies to this post and one of our Apple Geniuses will be with you shortly. 🍎

One hour until the Apple event and we can hardly contain our excitement. Hoping we’ll learn more about the hotly anticipated Sunflare, rumored to be getting a substantial spec bump. If true, this could be a real game-changer for Honeycrisp fans.

The first day of our seasonal fruitstand at LeMaister Farm is tomorrow, Labor Day. We'll have unique Eastsound Rose seedling apples (they taste like roses!) and Gravensteins from the farm's orchard. Heritage apples (like Gravenstein) are pay-what-you-wish, unique new varieties are $1 an apple.
