Pucker Up! Honeybear Brands Kicks Offs Apple Season Early with that First Kiss

Get ready to fall in love, as First Kiss will be an early variety primer to the fall apple season. Shipping from Honeybear Brands’ Midwest facilities in mid-August, this Minnesota-grown, bright and sassy variety provides a jump start to new fresh crop sales. First Kiss, which debuted in limited supply has grown its fan base of happy shoppers throughout the past few years. And now it is headed back to retailer shelves in even greater numbers this season.

First Kiss is a descendant of the favorite Honeycrisp variety and developed in the same Minnesota growing region by legacy family farmers. It’s the same region where the first Honeycrisp was discovered. A mouth wateringly sweet/tart and juicy apple with a firm, crisp bite and an eye-catching, deep scarlet skin and bright white flesh, First Kiss is a refreshing delight.

“Shoppers await the beginning of Fall apple season, and First Kiss is a welcomed sight on store shelves,” said Chuck Sinks, President of sales, Honeybear Brands. “First Kiss is a signal that the apple harvest and flavors of fall are almost here. There’s a lot of love for a First Kiss apple but like every first kiss, it’s fleeting, so enjoy them while you can.”
