IPM Information
Ahhh, the flavors of an apple orchard! Join the trend of shoppers ordering fruits delivered to their door. These fresh fruit packs are quick 'n easy to order and certainly take less of your time than driving to a big box store somewhere.
These fresh apples are homegrown right here in our Bird-in-Hand apple orchards. Kauffman's homegrown apples have the word "Homegrown" in the title and are sold while supplies last. We supplement our supplies with apples from other local orchards as necessary. Kauffman's fruit orchards are all managed with the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which produces healthier soil and better tasting fruit. Click the orange IPM button above for more information about this effort.

- The selections above marked "Hail" are tree-run grade (not sorted at all, but rather just as they come from the orchard) and include hail damage. These apples still are nutritious and excellent for sauce, since the hail damage is only on the skin, and the rest of the apple is still in excellent condition.
- This sauce-specialist variety apparently originated in Latvia and found its way to our continent late in the nineteenth century.
