Two dozen not enough for you?
How about three dozen?
Not nearly all of the apples for sale at Volante Farms in Needham, Massachusetts, yesterday. |
Volante Farms, in Needham (Massachusetts) is selling 36 different kinds of apples. Or was last night when I visited.
It's a sign of the abundance of apple choices generally this time of year.
I could not fit all of the bins of apples in to a single photograph.
Volante keeps a running tally of apples for sale on it's website: very useful, but this week the list does not keep up with the inventory.
The market gets apples from many growers, which accounts for the breadth of choice.
Something for everyone
The assortment includes Baldwin and Black Oxford as well as several varieties (sports) of McIntosh and Honeycrisp.
If you are an unfortunate with an apple allergy, Volante has Mutsu (Crispin), which some sufferers say provokes no reaction.
Something to suit every taste |
Still other kinds of apples are for sale this week at orchards, greenmarkets, and farm stands.
It's a chance that won't come again until October of 2025.
Even these six rows of bins of apples do not hold all that are for sale. |
