Apple Picking season’s calendar and apple varieties
August arrives and we can FINALLY savour the first apples of the season: Vista Bella, Melba and Jersey Mac, what we call the “summer apples” will delight apple lovers who waited all winter long to rejoice with their sweet and juicy plump! But wait… don’t forget the tiny and delicious Pommettes and start preparing your pans and pots for jelly making.
And it’s only the beginning…Paulared, Lobo, Macintosh, Wolf River, Spartan, Liberty, Honey Crisp will mature into savoury pleasures for us to harvest as soon as September. Fall will close its colourful season on fresh and crispy notes of Cortland, Empire et Golden Russett varities. Orchard fruits are best kept in your refrigerator’s drawer in their original bag or loose. On the kitchen counter they will ripen ten time faster than if kept cool.
