Honeycrisp Apples
-
TYPICALLY HONEYCRISP APPLES RIPEN AROUND THE 23 RD OF SEPTEMBER. WE DO NOT PICK THE DATE, MOTHER-NATURE PICKS IT! One year we let people pick their own honeycrisp on Labor Day, another year they were not ready until Oct. 1…it just depends on the weather!
-
CALL AFTER LABOR DAY FOR AN UP-DATE ON THE CROP!
-
Keep in mind that even with over 3000 honeycrisp trees we sell out every year. Linda’s RESERVE LIST just keeps getting longer. She also ships Honeycrisp all over the United States via U.P.S.

-
Honeycrisp Apples need the cold nights (50 degrees or less), followed by warm sunny days (80 degrees) and our Polk County Pristine Environment to properly ripen.
-
Honeycrisp are high in sugar but yet have a tartness to them that is unique and creates a very flavorful taste

Honeycrisp are also very juicy. Typically when we squeeze honeycrisp for our fresh cider, hard cider or wine we get 3 gallons of juice per bushel. Most apples only produce 1.5 -2 gallons per bushel.
-
Many of our Minnesota customers have told us that honeycrisp they have purchased at grocery stores grown in southern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan aren’t as tasty, crunchy and juicy. “Honeycrisp needs a cold climate to taste right!”
-
Since we allow our apples to “tree ripen” you will be able to experience the full flavor of the apple, they also “keep” for months if kept cool.
-
Typically the honeycrisp is eaten as a fresh apple, but we have found that they make an unbelievable sauce, hard cider, fresh cider, pies or other baked products.

- This last winter Chateau St. Croix Winery started production on the first barrels of Indian Creek Honeycrisp Wine. We are looking for a July “Release” of this first ever PolkCounty honeycrisp wine! You have to try a bottle of our Honeycrisp Wine to understand the flavor of this apple, reservations are strongly recommended, we will sell out quickly!

This is a truly unique apple, it really can not be described properly. |
 |
The best way to experience this apple is to bite into one, come on out to the Orchard, bring your family and friends. Don’t forget your camera, especially when the “fall colors” are at their prime in September and October, as you drive watch out for the wildlife! |
