I love Gala apples - sweet and crisp, they hold up long term.

I used to be crazy for Granny Smith but haven’t had one in a long while. Should probably pick some up this season.

Drive to Rockville farmers market on Saturdays (9 am - 1 pm) - you won't be disappointed by prices and selection. Scenic view orchard and Tuckers farm are the best

Tried these this weekend. Nice crunch but nothing crazy.


The taste and texture of a pink lady are superior, it’s the best apple there is
