Our gift boxes are a white corrugated apple gift box with a soft foam insert. Each apple is nestled in an individual round hole in the foam insert.
The size of apples varies slightly in gift boxes depending on the count. Generally, the apples in a gift box would be between an 80-88-100 Size apple.
All apples are sold by volume or count not by weight. Our bushel cases are each approximately 35-40 pounds, the 1/2 bushel is 15-21 pounds, the 1/4 bushel is 11-12 pounds, providing a more affordable way to order apples. Each case is made of corrugated cardboard, with apples layered in either cardboard trays or cells. The inside of the case is lined with bubble wrap. This economical packaging does not provide the same protection as a gift box.
THERE IS A RISK OF BRUISING WHEN ORDERING CASES. We never pack bruised apples, but there is a risk of bruising during shipment when ordering cases. Whether the apples bruise in shipment depends on how UPS handles the box. Honeycrisp.com does not provide refunds for bruised apples in cases.
The pictures of products is a guide, most apples don't look exactly as the pictures. Year to year, tree to tree, even bushel to bushel apples can vary dramatically. The amount of rain, sun, temperatures, and growing days determine all different aspects of an apple. sweeter, tarter, juicier, crisper, darker or light in color to name a few. In agriculture each fruit is unique.
The apples you had in the past if picked a week early might be harder and tarter, if picked a week late they might be sweeter and softer.
At the farm we do our best to pick things at the right time, store them in the best environment and deliver them to your from the farm to your door.
We make no warranty or claim as to how ripe or the individual flavor or any food item we ship. Many times this can vary by season and ones individual tastes.
In the apple industry, count is described by how many apples of one size it takes to fill a bushel box (case) holding approximately 40 lbs of apples.
For example it takes 100 "100 Count Apples" to fill a bushel box.
The higher the count, the smaller the apple. Likewise, the smaller the count, the larger the apple.
Scale of largest to smallest:
36, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 100, 120 Larger Apples----Medium Apples----Smaller Apples
Our "Jumbo" Case generally consists of either 36-48-56 apples

Our fruit is grown and packed at our orchards here in the northeast. Our colder varieties are grown at our orchard in upstate NY, just south of Montreal and in northern Maine. Most of our warmer varieties are grown at our orchard in Marlboro, NY, about an hour north of New York City. "Grown a little colder, a whole lot better than the rest!!"
At the orchards of Honeycrisp.com, we work very hard to ensure our fruit arrives at you quickly and in perfect condition. Each piece of fruit is hand-selected and packed with care at the orchard before being shipped fresh from our farm to your door.

Please refer to our shipping page or individual product categories for up to date info or changes. We work quickly and efficiently at our orchards to get your order packed and shipped as quickly as possible. Every package is hand packed for each order, which does take some time. We try to have packages sent out within 2-7 days of placing your order. This is only if the fruit is ready to be shipped. At times your fruit could be in a storage not opened yet. In 2023 we have experienced some shortages of labor, so if someone is out sick orders could get delayed. When delayed we pack orders received first.
Many times we do not ship over the weekends. While some areas deliver on Saturday, UPS does not ship over the weekend, so we do not send out any orders on Saturday or Sunday.
Depending on weather and other conditions, we try to avoid having your order sit over the weekend with UPS, so we may delay sending your package until the following Monday.
Under normal conditions, excluding Holidays and preorders. Choosing overnight shipping does not necessarily mean that your order will be shipped that day. If you place an order on a Friday for overnight shipping, your order will not arrive to its destination until at least Monday. Instead, if the fruit is ready to be packed we will try to send it on Monday to arrive on Tuesday to avoid it sitting extra days with UPS over the weekend.
Make sure you specify at the time your order is placed if you would like your order to arrive on a specific date, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Please understand while we do our best, at times have to wait for fruit to be ready, a new room with your apples to open and we can experience delays due to shortages of labor at the farm. We make no warranty as to when an order will ship or when it will arrive. If you have questions regarding a specific shipment please contact us.
Please refer to Shipping Info for additional up to date information and timely changes.
