Burgundy has arrived! 🍎

Apple season just keeps getting better. Burgundy apples are now in the stand, and they’re every bit as beautiful as they are delicious. These plump, glossy apples have deep burgundy skin with streaks of red through the flesh, a bright tart flavor, and McIntosh heritage that makes them a favorite among true apple lovers.
We still have plenty of crisp, sweet Gala apples, but this is the time of year when each new variety starts making its debut.

Our farmer is keeping a close eye on Tohoku and Mollies Delicious. We don’t have exact dates yet, but they should be the next varieties joining the lineup. Stay tuned!

🍎 Apples Are on the Horizon! 🍎

The wait is almost over! We’re starting to see the first Gravenstein apples ripening in the orchard, which means apple season is just 5–10 days away!
🚨We do have one important update from the farmer: Gravensteins will be a lighter crop this year. While the apples are looking beautiful, there simply won’t be as many of them, so we expect them to go quickly.

If Gravensteins are your favorite, be ready! As soon as we announce they’re available and update the Current Availability page on GopherGlen.com, stop by the farm stand or give us a call at (805) 595-2646 to pay over the phone and have your apples held for pickup.
