McDOUGAL ORCHARDS
– early September
Did you know that not all crabapples are sour? Developed at the University of Minnesota in 1946, the Chesnut crab produces 2″ pale yellow crabapples with streaky red blushes and some russeting. Creamy white flesh is fine-grained and crisp, with a sweet, nut-like flavor that is great for fresh eating, cooking or making jams. This tree serves as an excellent pollinator for other apple varieties in our orchard.
McDougal Orchards grows Chestnut Crabapple apples. Located only 45 minutes from Portland, ME and 1.5 hours from Boston, MA, McDougal Orchards is easy to get to. Come enjoy picking your own fruit during the typical harvest season of Early September, enjoy Apple Cider Donuts at Capt. Jack's Donut Shack on the weekends and browse our farm store with lots of goodies.
