Flavor, Texture, Usage
This is the ultimate in a fresh eating apple. Its beautiful red color contributes to its popularity. Our apples are carefully grown for taste rather than for looks. We allow our apples to ripen naturally on the tree and pick them while firm and bursting with flavor.

History
Red Delicious, the largest selling apple in the world, was found on the farm of Jesse Hiatt in Peru, Iowa, in the 1870's. The Stark Brothers tree nursery in Missouri first named it "Hawkeye"; However, the story behind its name today is rather interesting. When C.M. Stark bit into a prize-winning apple at the Stark Brothers apple show, he is said to exclaim, "My that's delicious . . . and that's the name for it". Turkey Knob Red Delicious apples certainly live up to their name.

How much fruit comes in a box?
Our fruit boxes come in 2 sizes, approximately 10lb and 20lb. Our 10lb box has between 16 and 20 apples, depending on the size of the apples and the 20lb box contains between 36 and 40 apples, also depending on the size of the apples.

A Word from Mother Nature on Shipping
Please note, that because we are dealing with a product of nature, we reserve the right to allow up to 2 weeks, to process an order. If your order needs to be delayed for any reason, we will notify you. We typically ship apples on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid the shipment being held at a depot over the weekend. On some occasions, if we know that FedEx can deliver in less than 3 days, we may ship your order on Wednesdays.
