Apple of the Week: Jonagold Apples

January 27, 2026

Our Apple of the Week spotlight continues with a true orchard classic, Jonagold Apples! To celebrate 285 years of farming at Lyman Orchards, we're offering the same sweet anniversary deals on this versatile favorite.

What Makes Jonagold Special?

A cross between Jonathan and Golden Delicious apples, Jonagold apples bring together the best of both worlds. They're known for their bold, well-balanced flavor - sweet with just the right amount of tang - and a firm, juicy texture that works beautifully in just about anything.

Jonagold apples are often called the "do-it-all" apple, and once you cook or bake with them, it's easy to see why.

At Lyman Orchards, Jonagold apples are typically available for Pick Your Own in late September. 

Perfect for Just About Everything

If you're looking for one apple that can handle it all, Jonagold is it:

  • Fresh eating: Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying
  • Baking: Excellent for pies, crisps, and desserts
  • Applesauce: Breaks down beautifully with rich flavor
  • Cooking: Great for roasting, sautéing, and savory dishes
  • Salads: Adds a crisp bite and balanced sweetness
  • Freezing: Holds flavor and texture well for later use

Eco Certified & Grown with Care

All of our apples at Lyman Orchards are eco-certified, meaning they're grown using environmentally responsible farming practices that protect our land while producing high-quality fruit. It's part of our long-standing commitment to sustainability – something we've been proud of for generations.

Celebrate 285 Years with Apple of the Week

In honor of our 285th anniversary, we're celebrating Jonagold apples with these limited-time offers:

  • $2.85 for 2 lbs. of Jonagold apples ($1.43/lbs.)
  • Buy One, Get One FREE on Kids Pack or 10 lb. bags of Jonagold apples (mix and match–equal or lesser value)

Whether you're stocking up for snacks, baking projects, or family fun, these deals make it easy to bring home more of your favorite apples.

Each week, we're featuring a different apple variety along with special pricing, giving you a chance to explore new favorites or stock up on trusted classics.

Stop by the Apple Barrel Farm Market this week (April 15 - April 21) to enjoy our Jonagold apple deals and help us celebrate 285 years of growing great fruit.
