Here at Champlain Orchards, we grow 115 varieties of apples (and counting!). Some of them are grown specifically for our hard cider, while others are chosen for their perfection in our pies. Each one has a different story, with its own quirks and flavors. We are working hard to get every single one of our 115 apple varietals listed here, as well as all the rest of our fruit varietals, but we’re not quite there yet. – If you can’t find what you’re looking for, give us a shout!
Introduced: 1937, Japan
This Japanese apple features a complex flavor with a balance of acid and sweetness. A cross between the Jonathan heirloom American apple and the Worcester Pearmain heirloom English apple, the Akane (pronounced ah-KAH-nay) translates literally as “deep red” and makes up for its average texture with its juiciness and flavor.
Introduced: 1987, British Columbia
This chance seedling is refreshingly sweet and juicy with little acidity. Reminiscent of its believed-to-be parent, Golden Delicious, this apple is best eaten fresh.

What it lacks in looks, this old, leathery English apple makes up for in flavor: spicy, complex, tart, and intense. A highly valued apple for juicing and cider.
Introduced: 2000s, New York
Autumn Crisp is a well-balanced apple that is slightly sweeter than it is tart. With a similar flavor profile to a Jonagold and a juiciness only rivaled by Honeycrisp, this is one of the best new varieties in New England.
Introduced: 1740s, Massachusetts USA
This old American variety is juicy with a rich, even taste: balanced sweet and tart enlivened by acidity. An excellent keeper as well as a genuine dual purpose apple widely grown for both culinary use and fresh eating.
Introduced: 1837, Nottinghamshire UK
This traditionally English cooking apple provides a sharp, tart flavor that mellows pleasantly in flavor and texture when cooked.
A fine-textured pear, the flesh is mild and aromatic. The skin does not turn yellow when ripe, it remains green.

A juicy, sweet, fine-textured pear that ripens just before Bartlett.
Hailing from Ontario, Canada the Harrow Crisp is a large, red-blushed pear with a mildly sweet flavor. One of the loveliest looking pears around.
