From Arkansas Black to Winesap: A Farmers Market Guide to Apples |
August through November is peak apple season at California’s farmers markets. At grocery stores, you might only find a handful of apples such as Red Delicious, Fuji, and Granny Smith, but at the farmers market, you’ll find more than 50 fresh and flavorful varieties with evocative names like Mutsu, Gravenstein, and Black Twig, each available for a brief, delicious window of time.
We've put together a list of some of the more popular heirloom varieties you’ll find at the farmers market throughout the season. |
