Apples are the largest crop of fruit that we grow at Wells Orchards. At our farm market we currently offer more than twenty five different varieties of apples.
Weather for cooking and baking , freezing or canning, or fresh eating, old or new, we are sure to have the variety that you are looking for. The apple harvest begins the last week of July and ends the second week of November. As with all crops, weather is always a factor in determining harvest dates and variety availability. Beginning with Gala most of the fall varieties are available all winter.
