APPLES

Our apples are harvested on the slopes of the South Mountains,10 miles west of Gettysburg Pennsylvania.  Since 1920 the four generations of Benners have been producing the finest apples in Adams County under the El Vista Orchard name.
El Vista means the view in Spanish and the magnificent view is of 900 beautiful, eco managed, pesticide reduced, wild life abundent, acres of apples, cherries, nectarines, plums, and peaches, is truly breath taking.

Ginger Gold (Late August) is sweet, tangy, and juicy. An excellent multi-purpose eating and cooking apple; it also excels as a salad apple
