Johnny Appleseed

Gravensteins!!

Gravensteins!!

When was the last time you went to an apple farm?

 

Walker’s Apples, 10955 Upp Rd. Graton, CA 95444. (707) 823-4310. Up to 25 types of apples in stock –  and you get to taste before you buy! Go early in the harvest season for gravensteins, go late for pink ladies and pippins. Call ahead!

Some random Apple Facts for you to contemplate: 

  • Apples are a member of the rose family.
  • Americans eat 19.6 pounds or about 65 fresh apples every year.
  • 25% of every apple is air, and that’s why they float.
