Apple of the Week!

Hampshire

This apple is a chance seedling discovered by Erick Leadbeater in 1978 on Gould Hill Farm in Contoocook, New Hampshire. It was found in a block of trees containing several different varieties including McIntosh, Cortland, and Red Delicious. However, it does resemble a Mac being more tart than sweet and a rich aroma. Hampshire’s are an excellent all around apple from baking to just plain snacking.

Each and every week we do our absolute best to get to you the veggies we include in this newsletter so you can plan your week accordingly. Despite all our best plans and intentions, share contents are subject to last minute changes due to weather, field conditions and random acts of mischief by our beloved Mother Nature.  This means some weeks that half and full share compositions might not be identical and we will make up where applicable.

See you on the farm or on the road!

Cheers,

The FarmShare Team
