Honeybear kicks off apple season with a sweet First Kiss
Honeybear's First Kiss apples will be an early variety primer to the fall season. Shipping from Honeybear Brands’ Midwest facilities in mid-August, this Minnesota-grown variety provides a jump start to new fresh crop sales. First Kiss, which debuted in limited supply, has grown its fan base of happy shoppers over the past few years — and now it is headed back to retailer shelves in even greater numbers this season.
“Shoppers await the beginning of Fall apple season, and First Kiss is a welcomed sight on store shelves,” said Chuck Sinks, president of sales for Honeybear Brands. “First Kiss is a signal that the apple harvest and flavors of fall are almost here. There’s a lot of love for a First Kiss apple, but like every first kiss, it’s fleeting, so enjoy them while you can.”
First Kiss is a descendant of the favorite Honeycrisp variety and developed in the same Minnesota growing region by legacy family farmers. It’s the same region where the first Honeycrisp was discovered. A mouth-wateringly sweet/tart and juicy apple with a firm, crisp bite and an eye-catching, deep scarlet skin and bright white flesh, First Kiss is a refreshing delight.
