Below you will find apple varieties we have during the fall and their descriptions.

GINGER GOLD WILL BE AVAILABLE FALL 2026 The Ginger Gold is the earliest, local fresh apple available in the fall. It’s perfect for fulfilling that first fall flavor craving! A wonderful apple with a hint of spice and rich taste! A cross between the Golden Delicious and Albemarle Pippin. The Ginger Gold maintains crisp, white flesh when cut and is great as a snack, eaten out of hand! The Ginger Gold also holds its shape when cooked.
PAULA RED WILL BE AVAILABLE FALL 2026 Great for eating or baking. Mild flavor, light flesh. Similar to McIntosh. More of a softer, mellow apple. One of the first apples picked. Makes a smoother sauce. Bakes like McIntosh.
ZESTAR WILL BE AVAILABLE FALL 2026 Mildly tart, crunchy, juicy. Great alternative to Honey Crisp… good to eat until the Honey Crisp are ready and thereafter. Described by the University of Minnesota as a sweet-tart taste with a hint of brown sugar. Good for eating and baking. A newer apple at the Apple Barn! Early season apple… crisp, white flesh when cut and is great as a snack when eaten out of hand, also holds its shape when cooked. A very white flesh… this apple does not brown.
