McIntosh
Nothing evokes Fall better than the aromatic fragrance of McIntosh apples. People have enjoyed this apple since 1811 when John McIntosh discovered the first seedling. McIntosh apples grow particularly well in the Beak & Skiff orchards. Our Macs have an industry wide reputation for crispness and exceptional flavor.
