Why Apple Shares?

Why Apples?! 

Oh so many reasons for apples...let me count the ways...

Fiber! Soluble and insoluble fiber. Helps move things along and feel fuller longer.

Antioxidants! Including polyphenols, which have a host of benefits. Including quercitin, beneficial for inflammation and oxidative stress.

Nutrient-dense! More bang for your buck.

Contains pectin - a pre-biotic. Benefits for gut health.

And more benefits! We didn't even mention delicious, juicy, crunchy, Minnesota's #1 fruit.

Why Apple Shares?!

A 4 lb bag of apples in your Fall Apple Share each week offers a compound of these benefits, plus on-the-go snacks for making health easier! I don't go anywhere during apple season without a whole apple to munch (or two), or an apple sliced up with some sharp white cheddar cheese to go along with it. This is great when it comes time to pack school lunches!!

Our Shares offer a larger selection of varieties than you will find at the grocery store, as we pick 40+ Certified Organic varieties. 

Each week in our Apple Shares newsletter you'll find a recipe, or two, to help you enjoy your fruits! We love making apple fritters in the mornings, and apple crisps for any time of day!

Extra apples (if you end up with extras) are great for helping to fill the freezer, or the pantry! Applesauce and apple butter is always on the shelf here (of course we can do that work for you as well!). Some folks opt for 2 Fall Apple Shares just for these very reasons!

"I want to support local farmers who are doing things right, so that they can make a living and help to create a stronger more resilient community. I also love minimal food miles, clean food, and minimal hands touching my food." --Angela

I can't put it better than Angela did! There are many reasons that go beyond the delicious taste and health benefits!

Holler any time with questions about our Organic apples, Apple Shares and other farm fresh programs!
