2 pieces

A little surprise inside! Cabernet apples have naturally pink-red flesh and a crisp, juicy bite, with a sweet-tart flavor and hints of berries. Their story began in France, where breeders spent more than 20 years crossing wild red-fleshed apples with cultivated varieties to develop apples that were as appealing to eat as they were to look at. First planted in commercial European orchards in 2016, these distinctive apples bring a colorful twist to the fruit bowl. Slice them into salads, pair them with sharp cheeses, or bake them into pies and crisps to show off their rosy centers.

Holley, NY

Hurd Orchards is a family-owned fruit and flower farm and canning company located in the fertile lake plains of Western New York, nestled between the Erie Canal and the shores of Lake Ontario. For nearly two centuries, the Hurd family has cultivated this land, building a legacy rooted in stewardship, community, and a deep reverence for the natural world.

At the heart of Hurd Orchards is a love of fruit growing and a commitment to honoring the region’s agricultural heritage. The farm specializes in carefully tended, tree-ripened fruits grown on their own land, which are then preserved using time-honored methods and generations-old recipes. Each jar of jam or preserve reflects a philosophy of craftsmanship, seasonality, and extraordinary quality.

Beyond the orchard rows, Hurd Orchards is dedicated to preserving the beauty and productivity of its fields, forests, and meadows through sustainable practices and thoughtful land stewardship. Every aspect of the farm—from the fruits they grow to the landscapes they care for—embodies a vision of rural life that is rich in history, beauty, and purpose.
