While Crunch Time Apple Growers’ signature SnapDragon and RubyFrost apples are available nationwide, the group continues to seek opportunities to gain new fans of the apples through sampling.

To kick off what western New Yorkers are already crowning a victory season, Tops Friendly Markets is teaming up with the Allen Family to bring fresh, sweet flavor — and community impact — to customers.

Beginning this season, participating Tops locations will feature Allen Family Farms cantaloupes and honeydew melons, with a portion of sales supporting the Patricia Allen Fund at Oishei Children’s Hospital. These delicious melons can be found displayed in the iconic JA17 boxes in the heart of the produce department.
