Have you heard the buzz š about SugarBeeĀ® apples? š This crispy, sweet apple is quickly becoming a fan favorite! Born from a happy accidentācross-pollination between a Honeycrisp and an unknown varietyāthis cultivar was discovered thanks to the magic of honey bees and pollination!
SugarBeeĀ® apples are grown exclusively in Washington State, and weāve been proudly growing them for yearsāalongside other dedicated growers in the region. In fact, we recently planted an additional 6.5 acres on top of our original 10 acres.
However, thereās a twist: Even though we grow these wonderful apples, we canāt sell them to you because SugarBeeĀ® is a patented variety and only select license holders can legally market and sell the fruit.
Itās a bittersweet realityābut one we think folks should know about. So, next time you're at the store, ask your produce manager where their SugarBeeĀ® apples are coming fromāyou might just be supporting growers like us, behind the scenes. ā¤ļø
New cultivars that pop up naturally from the cycles of nature never cease to amaze us, especially ones that taste this good! š
