Kauffman Orchards Fresh-Picked Smokehouse Apples (Box of 16)

Believe it or not, you don’t even have to drive to an orchard to get fresh apples anymore! You can just buy one of our premium Apple Boxes, packed with our homegrown Smokehouse apples – an antique, heirloom variety that is ideal for cooking, baking, salads, and (especially!) making applesauce. Kauffman Orchards is a family-owned small business in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, established back in 1915 with a vision to grow fresh, nutritious fruit that enhances quality of life for the American consumer. Today, the orchard still follows that goal. Now managed by the 4th and 5th generations of Kauffmans, Kauffman Orchards grows nutrient-dense fruit that has enhanced vitamins, minerals, and flavor. Smokehouse originated around the year 1830 (no chance of GMO’s, right?) behind the smokehouse on William Gibbon’s farm along what is today Gibbons Road, just 3 miles from our orchard outside the village of Bird-in-Hand. Smokehouse has green skin and tart flavor similar to Granny Smith, but ripens eight weeks earlier! This Apple Box contains premium, Nutrient-Dense, non-GMO, non-waxed Smokehouse apples, and each apple has soft, high-density foam surrounding it to ensure protection during shipping. The 8-count box holds approximately 2.5-3 pounds of fresh apples; the 16-count box contains approximately 5-6 pounds; the 48-count box contains approximately 15-18 pounds. We carefully pack each apple box with the best quality apples that were picked by hand in our orchard. Since fresh fruit ripens quickly in hot temperatures during transit, we may wait to ship your order until Monday or Tuesday to ensure that your fruit arrives before the weekend. Refrigerate your apples upon arrival.
