Fresh Empire Apples, Hand-Picked In Our Orchard

Tired of the flavorless and waxy supermarket apples? Try a box of our fresh-picked Empire apples delivered right to your doorstep and taste the difference for yourself. 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. One of the top ten apple varieties produced in the United States (according to the U.S. Apple Association), Empire is a “tried and true” all-purpose apple that is especially popular for fresh eating and lunches. Try using Empire in fresh dishes like chicken salad and coleslaw, or pair it with pears, sharp cheeses, and warm spices such as ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Loaded with flavor, Empire apples also make delicious pies and crisps. Empire is a cross between juicy n' sweet Red Delicious and spritely-flavored Mcintosh. This Apple Box contains nutrient-dense, non-GMO, non-waxed Empire 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.
