The best apples you'll ever taste are grown on New England's rocky soils. Their unique blend of sweet and tart flavors are a product of the region's long, hot summers and crisp fall days. New England apples have outstanding flavor, size, and freshness.
About 40 varieties of apples are commonly grown in New England. The most popular today are McIntosh, Cortland, New England Red Delicious, Macoun, Empire, and Rome. Other popular New England varieties include Crispin (Mutsu), Gala, Golden Delicious, IdaRed, Jersey Mac, Jonagold, and PaulaRed, and antique varieties such as Baldwin, Northern Spy and Pippin.
Apples have a long and vital tradition in New England. Many varieties were discovered here, or go back centuries. The New England apple industry is still largely family-owned. Orchards are an important community resource, adding to our quality of life and preserving open space.
A bite from one of our apples is like a taste of New England!
