Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	September Wonder Fuji Apple A sport from the extremely popular Fuji apple, and is similar to Fuji in all the best ways.	Regional
Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	Macoun Apple Born at the Geneva New York Ag Station, this apple has gone on to greatness. Just like it’s name sake John Macoun, a botanist who was the Lewis & Clark of Canada mapping the westward expansion into the Prairie Provinces.	Regional
Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	Yellow Nectarine Peaches without the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but contain a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter. These have a smooth skin.	Regional
Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	Bartlett Pear The dear Bartlett pear was originated in Berkshire England by a schoolmaster named Stair. He sold his cuttings to a horticulturist called Williams, who gave this new pear his name. When the pear immigrated to the New World, a nurseryman called Bartlett laid claim to the fruit. So English folk may know this pear as Williams, and Americans as Bartlett. And they say “paaahr”, and we say “pear.”	Regional
Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	Fortune Plum Fortunes are a juicy and full bodied red skinned variety, with parentage back to the Laroda and other Santa Rosa plums. Although bred in the 60’s it was “held back” from the market till there was room.	Regional
Subarashii Kudamono Orchards, Coopersburg, PA	Asian Pear Apple- pears or pear-apples. Asian pear describes a large group of Asian pear varieties. Probably one of the first domesticated fruits. The Asian pears essential quality is its light sweet taste and extreme crispiness.	Regional Organic
Beechwood Orchards, Biglerville PA	White Peach Delicate peaches with pearly flesh have been with us since the 1600s but have only recently become popular. Their super sweetness is associated with the term “sub-acid” – meaning the less acidic, the more sweetness emerges.	Regional
Three Springs Farm, Aspers PA	[an error occurred while processing this directive]	Regional
