Apple harvest is in full swing in the Pacific Northwest! From August through the end of October, we’ll be hard at work picking all of your favorite varieties.
Throughout the summer we’ve experienced mild temperatures. However, the warm days and cool nights have brought on good coloring of the fruit. The weather has also allowed for an earlier harvest than last year by 3-5 days.
Popular varieties like Gala and Honeycrisp are some of the first off the trees, while our newest additions like Smitten and Cosmic Crisp will come later in September.
At Sage Fruit, we specialize in growing both Conventional and Organic apples, which you can find at a store near you!
We work hard on the farm, in the packing facilities, and in sales to deliver “An Exceptional Eating Experience!”
**Note: Cosmic Crisp will not be in stores though, until late November
