Lovin' Local Apples


This week at market in honor of Apple Month we're showcasing our apples.  Nova Scotia produces wonderful apples and there are many varieties coming out of Controlled Atmosphere Storage right now that are stunning: crunchy and flavourful and straight-off-the-tree crisp.  Empire have a "pop" when you bite into them that often sends juice flying.  Cortland are slow to brown when cut, making them ideal for salads and apple slices, as well as our Cortland Apple Chips which are delicious and popular.  Honeycrisp are a crowd favourite, and have a crunch that is unrivaled.  Crispin live up to their name, they are yellow and crisp and store well.   Ambrosia have a unique Canadian origin story and are one of my favourites, with a honey sweetness and creamy yellow flesh.  There's an apple to please every palate, come by and our market apple experts will help you take home a favourite, or find a new one!
