Heirloom Apple Varieties
Hubbardston Nonesuch
The pride of Hubbardston, MA in the late 1700’s. For generations, this apple has been highly regarded as a dessert, or fresh use apple, although it’s also very good in crisps and pies, as well as cider. It has a light plum or grape flavor, and pairs wonderfully with some aged Vermont cheddar. “Nonesuch” was an Americanized version of the French term “nonpareil,” which was used to describe apples of the finest flavor. A beautiful clear red skinned apple, this is one of the best early season heirlooms that we grow. Harvest time is early September.
