Our Varieties

An apple tentatively identified as Gravenstein ripening on one of the old trees on our property.

The varieties grown at the Farr Orchard are chosen to be both delicious and to cover a wide range of types and flavors, so there's probably a variety for everyone in the trial block. Varieties are listed in order of their first expected bearing year, with the soonest to bear listed first (calculated five years from grafting to bearing). Descriptions by variety will follow as the trees come into bearing. Please note that in the first few years that these apples are available, quantities will be very limited.
