How to Select the Best Fruit
Please Don’t Squeeze! Squeezing apples can cause bruising. Bruised apples spoil faster than unbruised.
Keep handling to a minimum to preserve the quality of apples inside and out.
 Some apple varieties are very firm and some varieties are softer. The softer varieties bruise very easily.
Fresh apples will have a characteristic “apple” fragrance - apples bought out of season can smell a little musty.
Always select apples that are “in-season”. Apple Season in our area is from late-August through late October. Check with our staff to see what apples are currently being picked to be sure you are getting the freshest fruit possible!
