Happy Harvest Season to our wonderful Common Ground community! 🍏

We are getting ready to make our annual trip up to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to visit Mercier Orchards. We’re bringing back the freshest, crispiest mountain-grown apples straight to our DeLand store, and we want to make sure your pantry is fully stocked!

We will be offering seven incredible varieties of mountain-grown apples this year. Whether you love them sweet, tart, or perfectly crisp for baking, we have something for everyone:

🍎 Our Apple Lineup:

• Arkansas Black Apples: 
  Nearly black skin, dense flesh that starts tart and hard, then turns sweet and wine-like after a couple months in cold storage. Keeps up to six months.
  

• Cameo Apples:
  Sweet-tart with a firm, snappy bite and mottled red-and-yellow skin. Holds its shape and flavor well in storage, which is why it shows up in salads and lunchboxes all winter.
  

• Crimson Crisp Apples:
  Deep crimson-red skin with firm, crunchy, juicy flesh and a sweet-tart balance that leans refreshing rather than sugary. The name earns itself — the snap is the whole point. Great for fresh eating, salads, and snacking. Stores three to six months refrigerated.
  

• EverCrisp Apples:
  Dense, juicy flesh with a Honeycrisp-style crunch and Fuji-level sweetness, plus a subtle tart edge. Stores up to a year in cold storage.
  

• Fuji Apples:
  One of the sweetest apples you’ll find, with a dense, crackling crunch and barely any acid. Stores for months without refrigeration — up to a year in the fridge.
  

• Golden Delicious Apples:
  Honey-sweet with barely any tartness, thin skin, and a tender-crisp bite. Great for pies, applesauce, and snacking. Stores three to four months in the fridge.
  

• Pink Lady Apples:
  Crisp and juicy with a bright sweet-tart balance and a pink blush over yellow-green skin. A late-season apple that keeps its edge in storage.
