Apple Varieties

Longmeadow Farm offers 15 apple varieties for apple picking. Apples are a wonderful and very healthy snack as well as an ingredient in many recipes. They are a rich source of vitamins, mineral nutrients, natural sugars, and fiber. In order to get the most from your apples, store them in a plastic bag in the crisper of your refrigerator to keep them at the right temperature and the proper humidity. This will keep them crisper and juicier longer.
