This sensational early apple is a cultivar that is related to the Honeycrisp. Crunchy, sweet, with a hint of brown sugar, the Zestar! was recently developed in Minnesota as a cultivar that ripens early in very cold northern climates.

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.
These apples may be our new family favorite! They are sweet, a little tart, an outstanding treat-so fresh, it's like I picked it myself!
