Macs are taditionally the most popular cultivar in New England and Eastern Canada, well known for the pink sauce unpeeled McIntoshes make. Many consider it a superior eating apple and well suited for applesauce, cider, and pies. It is extremely common to find this particular cultivar packed in children's lunches across North America owing to its small to medium size and longstanding reputation as a healthy snack.

Paula Red Apples are bright red with some yellow and tan spots; the skin often has a dusty sheen. They have a sprightly taste, not too sweet and not too tart, vinous and slightly reminiscent of strawberries. It has a firm white flesh. Paula Red apples are suitable for both eating fresh and cooking. They become extremely soft when cooked, which makes them well suited for applesauce and spreads.

LIBERTY- This disease-resistant apple has been making a major impact in the eastern U.S.. Many independent taste panels have rated it the best among the resistant varieties, usually above Empire, and always rated it above McIntosh. And I like it tooo! Good well-balanced sweet-tart flavor with an attractive red skin makes Liberty competitive with all other apples. With consumer interest in low spray and organic produce rising, there comes a need for a high quality cultivar like Liberty.

Now Shipping. Fresh Vermont Grown Apples from the 2009 season.
Anyone who visits Vermont in the Fall season is in for a real treat. The turning of the trees from radiant green to the magnificent yellows, reds and colors of the harvest signal a time of rich harvest and pending change. The four seasons remind us of our fragile nature and our strength, because this is the time when all the work of planting, cultivating and pruning finally pays off. The harvest is ready and there's much work to be done and lots of great food is on the table everyday as we plan for winter meals and the feasts of the holiday season. Fresh apple slices with Vermont made cheddar cheese, fresh apple sauce and cider, hot and cold are favorites on New England tables at almost any time of year. When the fresh apples come in the aroma and flavor is impossible to resist.
The first wood fires of the fall season scent the air as we pick the bounty the land provides. We here at New England Natural and Dirt Works are glad we can share a little of this good cheer and fortune with you. Buy some delicious, hand picked apples from Vermont. Get some for yourself or treat some one you know with a gift they won't soon forget.
