Heirloom Apple Varieties
Reine des Reinettes
A French apple from the 1700’s which has a high sugar content that’s balanced with acidity. It’s a juicy apple, good for eating out of hand. It is also good for cooking and in Normandy it is considered the best apple for making hard cider. One of our favorite apples and a top favorite at the tastings here on the farm; there is good reason it’s called the King the Pippins. A large, beautiful apple, red blush with russeting. Look for this long-time favorite mid to late September.
