Apple Tasting 2025
The annual CRFG apple tasting at Wilder Ranch is upon us! Made for all apple lovers, this is the premier tasting in the state. It’s the only place to sample over 70 varieties, ranging from rich and sweet to complex and intense. All locally grown, we’ll be featuring rare and historic American heirloom varieties, European dessert apples, newly introduced seedlings, and over a dozen fabulously vibrant and flavorful pink-fleshed varieties. Some of the better grocery store varieties will be on hand to compare them to. If you’re an apple fanatic, or just looking for a good reason to become one, this might be the best five bucks you’ve ever spent!
