A season that moves with altitude
Himachal's apple harvest unfolds in waves. Royal Gala leads in August, the Delicious group (Royal, Red and Scarlet Spur) peaks through September, and firmer keepers like Fuji and Granny Smith close the season in October. Higher-altitude blocks in Kinnaur ripen later and deliver exceptional crunch.
Why timing matters for buyers
Knowing the calendar lets buyers plan volumes and pricing. Early Gala commands freshness premiums; the September Delicious peak offers the best balance of volume and colour; late-season Fuji suits buyers who need longer shelf life for distant markets.
How Farmsons sources
We buy at the farm gate across Shimla, Kullu, Kinnaur and Mandi, tie every lot to a named grower, and grade to buyer specification — so the fruit that ships is exactly what was ordered.
