By calling them "Heirloom" or "Antique" apples, people mean apples that are no longer grown commercially in large amounts. This can be for a number of reasons and does not reflect on the quality or taste of the apples. Some of the older apples either brused easily, or were more prone to certain diseases which made them less desireable for the growers.
     However, there are many people who still grow these older varieties and make sure that the world does not lose these fruits of the past.
     They are not grown in large quantities, and not all of them are available every year, but we offer than as they ripen and become available. If the order button does not work for the apple you want, it is because we do not have them ready to ship.
     You can check the available apple list for complete information on what is ready for shipping. If the apple you want is not listed, check again in a week or so so see if it has ripened, or contact us and we will be able to tell you the status of the apple.
