Description
Farmers once grew thousands of varieties of apples. In modern times, most of these old heirloom varieties are extremely rare, and are now grown by only a small handful of farms.
We will be taste testing some fantastic heirloom apples - all grown right here in Michigan! Join us to discover a diverse array of sweet, sour, crisp, soft, gnarly, delicious, and straight-up weird apple varieties!
AADL staff will be on hand to explain a bit of the history of each selection. The availability of specific varieties changes from year to year, and is subject to growing conditions and the weather.
Here are some of the varieties of apples we will be sampling:
Wealthy, Lady, Green Pippin, Gravenstein, Kandil Sinap, Maiden Blush, Holstein (variety of Cox's Orange Pippin), English Golden Russett, Pink Pearl, Northern Spy & Sheepnose
