Heritage Varieties

All our trees are either Heritage (before 1940) or Vintage (1940 to 1975) varieties. No GMO here!

 

In addition to our original Old Standard trees (some over 70 years old) we have planted new baby trees to replace older trees now gone. These are also either Heritage or Vintage varieties. For a full listing of our available varieties, click on OUR APPLES.
