RubyFrost: Strong market for stored apples
- BY CHRISTINA DIMARTINO | DECEMBER 26, 2019
In August 2019, Hudson River Fruit Distributors, headquartered in Milton, NY, anticipated that the apple crop being harvested was good in both volume and quality. That projection was accurate. Alisha Albinder-Camac, director of operations and a fourth-generation Albinder family member to help to oversee the company’s operations, said that the good news extends to the condition of the company’s stored apples.
“We have strong holdings in the popular varieties like Gala, Fuji, McIntosh, SnapDragon and RubyFrost,” said Albinder-Camac. “That is very good news because the market is strong for eastern apples, and we are seeing increases in sales of the new varieties; SnapDragon and RubyFrost. This year we will be carrying SnapDragon throughout the winter months along with RubyFrost that just recently launched in the market.”
