A Hudson Valley Love Letter to Four Remarkable Apples
The Hudson Valley isn’t just a pretty place to go apple picking, it’s a cradle of American pomology. From 18th-century chance seedlings along the Hudson to 20th-century breakthroughs from Cornell’s breeding program in Geneva, NY, our region has birthed (and perfected) some of the most characterful apples anywhere. Local orchard voices and regional histories shaped this guide, bringing together the stories, flavors, and kitchen uses that make Hudson Valley apples so distinctive.
