Native Maine stocks many wicked fresh
apple varieties in several different sizes.
Always Maine grown when available. Fresh Maine cider too!
Did you know: It takes about 36 apples to create one gallon of fresh apple cider? It takes two pounds of apples to make one 9-inch pie and with a bushel of apples, you’ll make about 15 quarts of fresh applesauce.
 |
Fuji This variety’s popularity is skyrocketing, thanks to its sweet flavor and crunchy firmness. Fuji apples are bi-colored, typically striped with yellow and red. |
 |
Maine McIntosh Tangy-tart McIntosh has a tender, ultra juicy white flesh. Best used for snacking and applesauce, but some people enjoy its tart flavors in pies as well. Excellent fresh apple aroma. |
 |
Maine Cortland Sweeter than its McIntosh parent with only a hint of tartness. Cortland has a tender, snow-white flesh that resists browning, making it an excellent choice for salads, kabobs and garnishes. |
 |
Red Delicious America’s most popular apple. Full flavored sweet taste and a juicy, crisp texture. Color varies from striped red to solid midnight red. Best eaten fresh or in salads. |
 |
Gala Gala was brought to the US from New Zealand and is now one of our most popular apples. Crispy, juicy, very sweet and ideal for snacking. Color varies from cream to red and yellow striped. |
 |
Braeburn A multipurpose apple good for all types of uses. Its color varies from orange to red over a greenish background. Crisp and juicy apple with a rich, spicy-sweet flavor. |
 |
Golden Delicious A pale yellow skin, sometimes with a red blush. Mellow and sweet, all-purpose golden’s are great for snacking, baking and salads. Their crisp, pale yellow flesh resists browning, making it a good choice for salads and other dishes. |
 |
Granny Smith This apple gets its name from its founder, Mrs. Mary Ann (Granny) Smith. Granny Smith apples are crisp, juicy and tart which makes them perfect for either baking in pies, stewed in sauces or eating out of hand. They’re also great in salads because once cut, they keep their color longer than other apples. |
