🍎 Red Delicious Apples: A Classic for a Reason! ❤️

Some apples come and go, but Red Delicious will always have a place in the fruit bowl! A true classic, with their deep red skin, distinctive shape, and familiar old-fashioned charm, these apples bring back memories for so many of us.

And let’s be honest… people who love Red Delicious apples REALLY love them! 🍎

✨ The Taste: Red Delicious apples are mildly sweet and low in tartness.

🍎 Ways to Enjoy Them:
❤️ Sliced fresh for a simple snack
❤️ Paired with peanut butter or cheese
❤️ Chopped into salads for a touch of sweetness
❤️ Diced into oatmeal or yogurt
❤️ Added to sandwiches or a fresh fruit platter

🥗 A Little Recipe to Try: Red Delicious Apple Salad

Ingredients:

* 2 Red Delicious apples, diced
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
* 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
* 1/3 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
* A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Dice the apples and toss them with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning.
2. Add the celery, nuts, and raisins.
3. Gently stir in the yogurt until everything is coated.
4. Chill for 10–15 minutes and enjoy!

It’s a simple, sweet, crunchy little salad that makes a lovely snack or side dish. ❤️

🍎 Meet the Russet Apple — A Little Taste of Fall! 🍂

This season, we’ve picked the beautiful Russet apple, and it’s a variety that deserves a little extra love!

✨ Looks: The Russet apple stands out with its golden-green skin covered in a naturally rough, russet-brown texture. It may not be the shiniest apple in the basket, but its rustic, old-fashioned charm is part of what makes it so special.

🍏 Taste: Don’t let its unusual appearance fool you! Russet apples are known for their rich, complex flavour, often with sweet, nutty, honey-like notes and a firm, dense texture. Every bite brings a lovely taste of autumn.

🌳 Origin & What It’s Known For: Apple russeting has been known for centuries, and russet apples include several traditional varieties, such as the famous Egremont Russet, which originated in England in the 19th century. These apples are treasured for their distinctive skin, rich flavour and old-world character. They’re a wonderful reminder that beauty comes in all textures!

🍎 Our favourite fall idea? Turn these beauties into something warm, cozy and delicious. Think cinnamon, maple syrup, toasted nuts and the comforting aroma of apples baking in the oven.

Because sometimes, the most unusual-looking apple is the one that makes the most memorable autumn treat! 🍁❤️

🍎🦃 The Spy Apple: A Thanksgiving Favourite! 🥧

Everyone loves a Spy for pie, but these apples are so much more than that!

With their perfect balance of sweet and tart, crisp texture and rich, full-bodied apple flavour, Spies are a fall favourite. 🍂 They’re delicious in pies, crisps, applesauce, cakes and even savoury Thanksgiving dishes!

🌳 A little history: The Spy originated in New York in the early 1800s and became a beloved heritage apple here in Ontario, too!

❤️ Thanksgiving Recipe: Spy Apple & Cranberry Crisp

Slice 6 Spy apples and toss with 1 cup cranberries, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp flour. Top with a crumble of oats, flour, brown sugar and butter. Bake at 350°F for 40–50 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream! 😍

From the first bite to the last crumb, the Spy brings a little extra flavour to Thanksgiving.

🍎 What’s your favourite way to enjoy a Spy?

🍐 Meet the Bosc Pear — the winter pear! 🍐

While we still have some of our sweet, juicy Bartlett pears around, you now have a second pear to choose from — the beautiful Bosc.

Bosc pears are known for their firm, crisp texture and sweet, honey-like flavour, with a subtle spiced richness. Their sturdy flesh holds its shape beautifully, making them wonderful for both eating and cooking.

✨ Try Bosc pears:
• Fresh, sliced and enjoyed on their own
• Poached in w**e or spices
• Baked into tarts, crisps and pies
• Added to salads and cheese boards
• Roasted alongside savoury dishes

And here’s what makes the Bosc special: it’s a pear made for winter. 🍂❄️

Bosc pears store exceptionally well, keeping their flavour and texture for months under the right conditions. That long keeping quality is one reason they’ve earned their reputation as a true winter pear — giving us delicious local pears long after the fall harvest.

So, which will it be?

🍐 Bartlett — juicy, soft and wonderfully sweet
🍐 Bosc — crisp, firm and rich with a beautiful honeyed flavour

Two pears. Two personalities. Both delicious. ❤️

🍎 The Crimson Crisp are picked! ❤️

These red stunners are hard to miss in the orchard — deep crimson skin, bright flesh, and plenty of crisp, juicy crunch. And the flavour? A delicious balance of sweet and tart with a hint of spice.

Developed through the Purdue–Rutgers–Illinois apple breeding program, Crimson Crisp was first introduced commercially in the mid-2000s.

They’re fantastic fresh off the tree, but just as good sliced into salads, paired with cheese, baked into pies and crisps, or made into applesauce.

Talk about looks — and taste! ❤️🍎

🍎✨ Ambrosia Apples are IN! ✨🍎

And the name says it all…

In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods—and this apple certainly lives up to its heavenly name! 😇🍎

Ambrosia apples were discovered right here in British Columbia as a chance seedling in an orchard. With their beautiful blush colour, crisp bite, juicy flesh and naturally sweet, honey-like flavour, they quickly became a favourite.

Think sweet, aromatic, lightly floral and wonderfully juicy, with very little tartness. They’re delicious straight out of the fridge, but they’re also fantastic sliced into salads, paired with cheese, tucked into lunchboxes, or baked into your favourite apple treats.

And one more bonus: Ambrosia slices don’t brown as quickly as many other apples. 🙌

So if you’re looking for a little taste of the “fruit of the gods,” come and get them! 🍎❤️

Ambrosia apples are here!

We’re in the thick of harvest, with new apple varieties arriving daily! 🍎🍏 There’s always something fresh and delicious to discover at the orchard.
