As those crunchy, juicy globes of ruby, green and gold trickle into the market, fourth-generation grower-marketer-distributor Alisha Albinder Camac updates us on the 2019 Eastern apple season.

Don’t expect many organic varieties from the humid, wet Northeast climate, but retailers and foodservice providers can anticipate a good crop this season, Camac says.
