Dixon’s is home to our world-famous Champagne apples, a variety discovered and grown first by Fred Dixon. This golden apple with a hint of blush is a firm, good keeper. It’s sweet but spicy and juicy for baking and eating. We think you have to taste it to fully appreciate the unique taste and texture. You will be able to taste those and some delicious Zestar, Macoun, McIntosh and Honeycrisp when you visit our orchard.
Dixon’s began growing apples in Wisconsin in 2015 and we launched our first harvest in 2019. When Dixon’s was in New Mexico, we grew our signature Champagne apples along with Sparkling Burgundy, Red Rome, and Red Delicious. We hope you enjoy this little snippet of info from our New Mexico memory book.
