Spartan Apples are an early cross of Macintosh and Orange Pippin and have the distinct crispness of the Macintosh and the sweetness and juiciness of the Pippins. The skin color is red to deep crimson, and they are smaller in size.

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.
