Variety of Fruit

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Transcript

“The best sellers usually are Yellow Delicious, Melrose is a big seller for us, a variety called Mutsu is pretty good. And then we had some standards, the Red Delicious, Jonathon, McIntosh, and it's hard to keep up with all the varieties that are out there. Then every once in a while you'll get some old-timer who wants some apple that, you know, we don't have anymore, but you know Granny Smith always comes to mind. But we have about, I would say, ten or twelve different varieties of apples now we grow. So that's been pretty good. The peach season has really helped us, also. Peaches are hard to grow in this climate, but when we do have them we sell them really good, so they sell like hotcakes, and the main variety of peaches we sell are Red Haven peaches.”
