Antique Apples: Smolak Farms Announces the Opening of Antique Orchard!

Take a bite out of time this weekend as Smolak Farms, located just north of Boston in North Andover, Massachusetts, opens its "Antique Apple Orchard." About 6,000 apple varieties that once grew on American farms are now gone! In 1992, Michael Smolak planted what he refers to as his "Antique Orchard" to help preserve some 20+ varietals including: Chenango Strawberry, Sops of Wine, Cox Orange Pippen, Sheepnose, Smokehouse, Rhode Island Greening, Fameuse Snow, Golden Russet, Winter Banana, Spitzenberg, Seek No Further, Red Stayman, Granny Smith, Yellow Newton, Lady, Pink Pearl, James Grieve, Baldwin and Wolf River.

Smolak Farms is the ONLY apple farm in Massachusetts to carry these varieties. So make a trek just minutes north of Boston to wander and gather antique apples for $30.00 a ½ bushel or $20 a peck. For more information please visit smolakfarms.com
