Jonathan.Local apple will make shoppers see red; let retailers see green

Virginia Jonathan apples are the first red apples available in the fall. When they appear in stores, shoppers are quick to pick them up as the perfect choice for school lunch snacks and candy apples.

For retailers, it's time to harvest profits by reminding customers that Jonathan is the ideal all-purpose apple. It is an excellent choice for snacking, cooking and baking. Despite their down-to-earth qualities, Virginia Jonathan apples also have an exotic side. Their flavor is a unique blending of sweet and tart and their appearance combines light red stripes over yellow or deep red.
