These apples have a beautiful maroon blush with tart and firm flesh. Here’s some Baugher’s trivia—one Baugher grandchild was named after this apple!

Picking Tips
  • Look for apples with the most color – ruby red apples with a snowy center
  • Use both hands then lift the apple up and twist gently. A ripe apple will release easily with the stem attached. Do not yank the apple or fruit along the same branch will fall to the ground.
  • Do not climb the trees
  • Do not break, pull or shake branches.
Field Rules
  • No bags allowed in Pick-Your-Own fields. Bags are prohibited to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
  • Must pay for everything that you pick. All fruit must fit in purchased container. Any fruit that does not fit in purchased container is considered unpaid and considered stolen. If you find that you have picked more than your container will hold, let field supervisor or wagon driver know and they will be glad to direct you on what to do from there. 
  • Always wash your fruit before consuming. No picnicking in Pick-Your-Own Fields
  • No pets are allowed anywhere on the farm
  • No food is allowed in Pick-Your-Own fields
  • Please stay home if you are sick
