This tangy, heavily-russetted apple originated from the Netherlands in the 1850s. Its large size and firm flesh makes it ideal for pies, while its sharp flavor is enjoyed by those who like a little kick to their apples!

Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
