Kauffman Orchards Fresh-Picked Gala Apples (Box of 16)

Believe it or not, you don't even have to drive to an orchard to get fresh apples anymore! You can just buy one of our premium Apple Boxes, packed with our homegrown, juicy Gala apples – one of the most famous snacking apples in the country. Kauffman Orchards is a family-owned small business in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, established back in 1915 with a vision to provide the local community with fresh, nutritious fruit that enhances quality of life for the American consumer. Today, the orchard still follows that goal. Managed by the 4th and 5th generations of Kauffmans, Kauffman Orchards grows Nutrient-Dense fruit that has enhanced vitamins, minerals, and flavor. Gala is one of those “Apple Hall of Fame” snacking apples. Eat it fresh, slice it and serve with caramel dip, make a candied apple, or slice it into salads. Gala has a glowing red-orange appearance, sweet & wonderful taste, and a pleasing, crunchy texture. This Apple Box contains premium, Nutrient-Dense, non-GMO, non-waxed Gala apples, and each apple has soft, high-density foam surrounding it to ensure protection during shipping. The 8-count box holds approximately 2.5-3 pounds of fresh apples; the 16-count box contains approximately 5-6 pounds and the 48-count box contains approximately 15-18 pounds. We carefully pack each apple box with the best quality apples that were picked by hand in our orchard. Since fresh fruit ripens quickly in hot temperatures during transit, we may wait to ship your order until Monday or Tuesday to ensure that your fruit arrives before the weekend. Refrigerate your apples upon arrival.
