Our 2007 crop has sold out. Please check back with us next year. Stevens Orchard is an 111-year old orchard on the banks of Lake Champlain in picturesque Vermont. We proudly offer a beautiful gift box of wonderful Honeycrisp apples for the holiday season. Order this great gift because you want to surprise yourself or someone else with something wonderfully delicious and satisfying. This variety, bred specifically to grow in cold northern climates by the University of Minnesota, was in development for thirty years as “Minnesota 1711” before being patented and introduced commercially in 1991 as Honeycrisp. A seedling cross between the tart Macoun and the sweet Honeygold, Honeycrisp is crisp to the bite, sweet and slightly tangy to taste, and juicier than any other apple around, explosively so. It has the uncharacteristic ability to stay outside of refrigeration for weeks without softening or losing flavor. At Stevens Orchard, we produce some of the finest Honeycrisp apples in all of New England and enjoy a reputation for shipping only top quality fruit nationwide. While this variety is a premier eating apple, it is also a great cooking/baking apple. But, they rarely last long enough in the kitchen to be used for anything other than a wonderful and refreshing treat. The apple is rich in healthful antioxidants, is a fine source of fiber, and is a great thirst quencher. Your price includes approximately 10 pounds of apples in a gift box, shipping, and our unconditional guarantee that our apples will be top quality. The supply of our extraordinary Honeycrisp apples is small so order now or plan on waiting till next season, nearly a year away. Karen Blair and Bob Fields, Proprietors |
