GRAVENSTEIN APPLES HERE!!
Pre-Apple Tasting special!!
ONLY AT 5050 SE STARK
For years folks have been sorely disappointed to come to Apple Tasting only to discover that their favorite apple - the Gravenstein - isn’t represented. It’s an early apple, and unfortunately doesn’t store, so we’ve decided to bring in a bin or two early. The particulars follow:
--A very old, early-season apple of unusually high quality.
-- They do not store long, even in refrigeration. This is the only time to buy!
--Gravensteins are tender, crisp, and juicy with an appealing tart flavor.
--They are excellent for fresh eating and also make great pies!
--$0.89/ lb.
While supplies last, call for availability.
