Sage Fruit Reports on Washington Apple Harvest

Sage Fruit Company Produce August 10, 2020

Apple harvest is in full swing in the Pacific Northwest! From August through the end of October, we’ll be hard at work picking all of your favorite varieties.

Throughout the summer we’ve experienced mild temperatures. However, the warm days and cool nights have brought on good coloring of the fruit. The weather has also allowed for an earlier harvest than last year by 3-5 days.

Popular varieties like Gala and Honeycrisp are some of the first off the trees, while our newest additions like Smitten and Cosmic Crisp will come later in September.
