4 pecks = 1 full bushel (approx. 40–48 lbs or 120 apples)

Our orchard features a curated mix of heritage and cider apple varieties:
Pink Lady: Tart, crisp, & sweet with a blush-pink skin
Crimson Crisp: Crunchy, deep red in color and sharp tang
Aztec Fuji: Intensely sweet, juicy, and low in acidity
Ambrosia: Honey-sweet and floral with a tender bite
