Heirloom Apple Varieties
D’Arcy Spice
A green, russeted apple originally from Essex, England. Its place of origin proves it tolerant to less than ideal growing conditions - namely salty air and thin soil. It has a crisp, aromatic, nutmeg flavor, and the hint of red-pink blush on its skin lends it an understated beauty. This apple was traditionally picked on Guy Fawkes Day and hung in cloth bags from the tree limbs until December, as the best flavor develops after some time in storage. One of our favorite apples here, picking begins mid-October and in some seasons is the last apple we pick for the year.
