Heirloom Apple Varieties
Golden Russet
Some say this is an English apple, others say it is from New York dating to the late 1600’s or early 1700’s. It has a dense flesh with a honeyed flavor and a touch of citrus. Its juicy flesh makes it good for fresh use and baking; it is especially sought after for cider making as it is known as the “champagne” of cider apples. Medium size apple with russeting, known as a leather-coat apple. We harvest early into late October.
