Don’t buy from this business
Don’t buy from this business! False advertising!! After I read the description of Honeycrisp apples on Honey Crisp Farms website I was excited to order from an orchard. Big mistake. The apples I received (12 for $43) were 3 times greener than what I could buy at the grocery store for $15 and shockingly the apples were slightly larger than a tennis ball. Unfortunately before the Honey Crisps were delivered I believed their hype and ordered two other varieties which have already been shipped. Judging from the disclaimer on their website (which I discovered too late at the bottom of one of their pages) about not guaranteeing ripeness, it is my belief that this business knows they send customers unripened (green) apples. I thought I could trust a good ‘ole family owned business. Boy, was I wrong. I will be posting this review on several other review sites and maybe I can help someone save their money and avoid disappointment. When I receive the order that should be delivered soon I will write another review. Who knows…I could get lucky and be able to write a positive review.

e’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order and appreciate the chance to clarify a few details. All of our apples are hand-picked at peak harvest and shipped directly from the farm — never from storage. Some Honeycrisp naturally have more green coloring depending on sunlight and weather, but they’re fully mature and continue to sweeten as the starches turn to sugar after picking. The size of the apples is determined by the protective packaging used in our gift boxes to keep them from bruising during shipment. For customers who prefer larger fruit, we also offer ½-bushel cases and “jumbo” options when available.
