The Oldest Apple With a Name
Roxbury Russet was first documented growing in Roxbury, Massachusetts in the 1600s, making it the oldest named apple variety in America — colonists were eating this exact apple before the country existed. Its skin is russeted: a rough, matte, bronze-gold coat rather than the shiny finish most modern apples are bred for. That texture is original to the variety, not a sign of age or poor handling. Underneath it, the flesh is firm and dense, with a rich, nutty flavor and a honeyed sweet-tart balance that fresh-eating apples bred for juiciness alone don't have. It was a favorite cider apple in early America, and it still is.
Why Choose the 12 Count Gift Box?
Twelve apples is a good-sized introduction to a variety most people have never tried — enough to eat a few fresh and judge the flavor for yourself, with plenty left to bake with or set aside, since Roxbury Russet is one of the best-keeping apples we grow.
Packed for Delivery
Your Roxbury Russet apples are cushioned in protective foam to help reduce movement and pressure during delivery. This protected count-box format is a good choice for gifting or whenever presentation and individual apple protection matter.
Shipping & Storage
Shipped fresh from the farm to your door. Refrigerate promptly after arrival — Roxbury Russet is a genuine long keeper, and its flavor holds up well over time rather than fading.
