Apple Ginger Gold - Bushel

Short story: 

Early-season mountain apple; crisp, pale-gold skin, honey-sweet flavor with a citrusy finish. Holds color when cut, excellent raw or cooked.

Long story:

We’re excited to be bringing back apples from Stephanie Lively’s family-run orchard in Hendersonville. Stephanie has taken over daily operations in recent years and brings a chef’s eye to the orchard, paying close attention to ripeness, storage, and handling so the fruit arrives crisp and balanced. Her Ginger Golds are a true early-harvest standout. Grown in the cool air of Hendersonville’s mountain ridge, these apples ripen with a pale golden skin that hints at the honeyed sweetness inside. Unlike many early-season apples, Ginger Golds hold a firm, crisp texture with a bright snap and a balanced flavor—sweet upfront with a clean, citrusy finish. Their flesh resists browning, which makes them an excellent choice for raw applications: think salads, cheese pairings, or finely sliced garnish where visual appeal matters. Cooked, they soften quickly into a fragrant, delicate sauce or filling that carries both sweetness and acidity in harmony..
