133 days until the Empire apples are ready
Many teachers enjoy doing a fall unit on apples. Our New England Apple Varieties brochure is available for your use.
If you are interested in our New England Apple Varieties brochure, please call, 413-247-9966, write to us at P.O. Box 41, Hatfield, MA 01038, or e-mail us at info@newenglandapples.org.
In addition to our brochure we have limited supplies of a teacher curriculum for elementary school students. All About Apples contains posters, classroom activities and general information that brings the orchard right into your classroom. We will donate a teacher curriculum to those teachers with limited resources. For those with a budget, we would appreciate payment of $8 ($5 for the kit, $3 for shipping) upon receipt of our invoice.
Thank you for your interest in apples and best wishes for a happy and productive fall season with your students.
We have included several pages for you to include in an apple curriculum:
Please share with us your experiences with these and other ideas that you develop yourselves.
See our nutrition page for further information on the benefits of eating apples.
Books in the New England Apple Library are available for borrowing.
