Jonathon, an heirloom classic

Honeycrisp has stolen the limelight lately (in regards to apple popularity) and Red Delicious' ubiquitous place on grocery store shelves is well entrenched, but it's the Jonathon apple that year after year quietly delivers apple goodness to those in the know.  Arguably the best apple for pies, its followers also rave about the sauce it makes and enjoy its tart flavor and crisp, juicy texture.  Over the last decade it has become less and less available in grocery stores as newer varieties (with large marketing budgets) push it into obscurity.  The good news is you can still pick Jonathon straight from the tree at our farm, and if you are not familiar with Jonathon, we invite you to the farm this weekend and encourage you to enjoy one of life's little pleasures, the Jonathon apple.
