Live Earth Farm
Newtown Pippin Apples (3lb bag)
$10
Unit price perOne of the oldest apple varieties in America — a chance seedling discovered in Queens, New York in the early 1700s and beloved by both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who wrote from Paris that "they have no apples here to compare with our Newtown Pippin." Green to yellow-green skinned with firm, fine-grained flesh and a refreshing, piney tartness with hints of tangerine. An exceptional keeper that actually improves in flavor with storage, developing more complexity and sweetness over time. Versatile for fresh eating, baking, and cider.
Live Earth Farm was founded in 1996 by Tom and Constance Broz in Watsonville, from 20 acres of overgrazed pasture. Now 65 acres and growing 50+ certified organic crops, the farm builds soil through cover crop rotation and applies 3–5 tons of organic compost per acre annually. Tom studied agriculture at Cornell and served in the Peace Corps in Samoa, where he saw firsthand the ecological cost of industrial farming. He was named 2023 Farmer of the Year by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau.
