What are Gravenstein apples and how can I order them?

What are Gravenstein apples and how can I order them?

By The FruitGuys on July 29, 2014

Q: What are Gravenstein apples, and how can I order them?gravenstein apples

A: We’re so glad you asked! Ripened in the warm summer days and sweetened by cool evening fogs, delicious sweet-tart Gravensteins are a much-beloved apple grown primarily in Northern California’s Sonoma County and available only about two weeks every summer due to a short growing season. They’re superior in taste and baking prestige and great for pies, juice, sauce, and just plain eating out of hand.

This year, 16 percent of all proceeds from The FruitGuys Gravenstein Apple Box will be donated back to the farmers we buy Gravs from.

Gravensteins are an “endangered American food,” as featured on Slow Food USA’s Ark of Taste, “a living collection of distinctive and meaningful foods in danger of extinction.” Suburban development, the ever-present land-value pressures of wine-grape production, and competition from Chinese apple juice concentrate are among the factors that have greatly reduced the number of orchards and apple acreage in Sonoma. There are only a handful of farmers still growing Gravs in Sonoma County.

When you order a Gravenstein box, you get the apples and delicious recipes! Your purchase also helps to ensure this heirloom apple will be around for years to come.
