Fall’s Favorite Fruit: Apples!

It’s apple season! For the next few months, we’ll be happily stacking newly ripe varieties of apples just about weekly. We work with small, local orchards to carry over 40 varieties throughout the harvest season. Use our handy apple guide to navigate your favorites and recall which variety is perfect in pies, best for snacking, or 100% belongs on that cheese plate!
Meet Our Growers!
Cornerstone Orchards | Youngstown, NY
Bryan and Caitlin LoVullo grow more than 35 varieties of apples, as well as stonefruit. The farm practices Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an environmentally sensitive approach to pest management. After the harvest season, they store apples in a special CO2 chamber to slow the ripening process giving us crunchy local apples all year long!

LynOaken Farms | Medina, NY
Look for 5-lb bags of local apples from LynOaken Farms of Medina, NY – they’re nearing a century of apple production and pride themselves on providing unwaxed, handpicked apples in WNY. They also make Steam Punk hard cider!
