Why You’ll Love Rome
Rome is the classic baking apple, with firm flesh and a mild flavor that holds its shape beautifully through the oven — exactly what you want for a stuffed baked apple, a tart, or a pie with distinct apple slices instead of mush. It is less commonly eaten fresh, but it is hard to beat for baking.
Why Choose the 1/2 Bushel Case?
This 1/2 Bushel Case is packed with larger Rome apples — noticeably bigger fruit than our standard case, so you get fewer apples for the same volume, but each one is extra large. It's a great option if you like big, impressive apples for slicing, serving, or gifting.
Packed for Bulk Shipping
Our bushel cases are packed for value and freshness rather than individual foam protection, which is why bulk cases carry a greater risk of minor bruising in transit compared to our foam-protected gift boxes. Most bruising is cosmetic and does not affect flavor or usability for baking, sauce, or immediate eating.
For the best freshness, refrigerate your apples as soon as they arrive.
1/2 Bushel Cases are sold by volume, not exact weight — this case holds approximately 15–20 lbs, typically fewer, larger Rome apples per case since this pack runs bigger fruit than our standard case.
Shipping & Storage
Shipped fresh from the farm to your door. Refrigerate promptly after arrival to help preserve Rome’s firm texture. Keep the fruit protected from pressure and check it regularly during storage.
