The small sizes makes Empire a hit with children in school lunch boxes.

History
Empire was introduced in 1966 in New York State. With the popular Red Delicious and McIntosh for parents, Empire apples were destined to be a hit. Empire is one of the few "northern"; varieties we can grow successfully in Virginia, although you may find that a Virginia Empire has a slightly different taste to one grown in colder northern climates.

A Word from Mother Nature on Shipping
Please note, that because we are dealing with a product of nature, we reserve the right to allow up to 2 weeks, to process an order. If your order needs to be delayed for any reason, we will notify you. We typically ship apples on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid the shipment being held at a depot over the weekend. On some occasions, if we know that FedEx can deliver in less than 3 days, we may ship your order on Wednesdays.
