The Taste of New England

Nothing is fresher or more delicious
than a New England apple

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 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. Explore this Web site, and make your next apple one that's grown in New England.
