Fresh and local apples will be available starting in August. Use in all areas including fresh eating, baking, juicing, drying and freezing. We enjoy growing a wide variety of apples. Some of our varieties include the following:
Alpha – Matte green apple with a red blush. Crisp and juicy, with moderate tartness.
Bravo – Green apple with a red blush. Crisp and juicy with a mild, lightly acidic, flavour.
Charlie – Large and bright green. Similar to a granny smith in both appearance and flavour.
Florina – Yellow/green with a red blush. Crisp and juicy with a well balanced and flavourful sugar-acid ratio.
Rebella – Perfect children’s apple, small with a yellow undertone and red blush. Crisp, juicy, and sweet, with balanced acidity.
Red Love – A small red apple with arresting pink/red flesh and a white rim around the core. Firm, flavourful and juicy, with a strong sweet-acid flavour tending towards tartness.

We do not ship your fruit to individual homes – but here is a list of the fine families and farms from which you can obtain your Palatine Fruit:
When our fruit is in season you are welcome to pick up during our store hours: Monday to Saturday 9:00 – 5:00. If you would like larger volumes you may want to call in your order so we can get it ready for you in advance.
*Please note that our Garden Centre and Fruit Market will be closing for the season after Saturday, September 9th.
That being said, while quantities last, our fruit will be available for online ordering and pick up Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:30am to 12pm and 4 to 5:30 pm through the month of September and onward.
Please email contact@palatineroses.com to arrange alternate pick up times or for wholesale purchases.
Check out our fruit harvest guidelines to get a sense of what fruits are ready when. These are based on an average year and, depending on how long or short of a spring season we had, the timing may change.

Our garden centre is now closed.
Online pre-order pick-up at the farm is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:30 am-12:00 pm, or 3:00 pm-5:30 pm.
