Believe it or not, you don't even have to drive to an orchard to get fresh apples anymore! You can just buy one of our premium Apple Boxes, packed with our homegrown, juicy Arkansas Black apples – an old heirloom apple with a pretty reddish/purplish hue. Kauffman Orchards is a family-owned small business in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, established back in 1915 with a vision to provide the local community with fresh, nutritious fruit that enhances quality of life for the American consumer. Today, the orchard still follows that goal. Managed by the 4th and 5th generations of Kauffmans, Kauffman Orchards grows nutrient-dense fruit that has enhanced vitamins, minerals, and flavor. Arkansas Black has a sweet-tart flavor and a hard flesh, at least initially when harvested, and is believed to be a relative of the Winesap apple. It is a great storing apple – both the flavor and texture of the apple improve while in cold storage. This Apple Box contains premium, nutrient-dense, non-GMO, non-waxed Arkansas Black apples, and each apple has soft, high-density foam surrounding it to ensure protection during shipping. The 8-count box holds approximately 2.5-3 pounds of fresh apples; the 16-count box contains approximately 5-6 pounds and the 48-count box contains approximately 15-18 pounds. We carefully pack each apple box with the best quality apples that were picked by hand in our orchard. Refrigerate your apples upon arrival. Please Note: Due to California state agriculture regulations, we may not ship fruit to California. If an order is placed with the shipping address in California, we will cancel the order.
