First Kiss® Availability
First Kiss® made a splash during its debut at last year’s Minnesota State Fair, selling out in just a few days.
While availability in 2020 will still be limited, more orchards will have trees that are mature enough to bear fruit. First Kiss® will primarily be for sale directly at licensed orchards throughout the state, consumers will also see more making their way into local farmers markets and grocery chains.
A list of licensed Minnesota orchards is available below with as estimated harvest year. We ask that you check the website and contact the orchard directly to check on availability, sales locations and any COVID-19 related restrictions.
Rave® Availability
Additionally, Rave®, the brand-name of the MN55 apple cultivar when grown by national licensee Stemilt Growers will be more readily available this year. Please check your local grocery stores.
