Chazy, N.Y.
Founded: 1920s
Chazy Orchards was established by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, which sought a commodity to haul between Montreal and New York City. In the late 1930s, the orchard fell under the management and eventual ownership of the Green family.
In July 2010, Chazy Orchards was purchased by the Giroux family — locals who made their mark in grain and egg production farming. The addition of Honeycrisp proved to be very successful and established Chazy Orchards as a premier supplier of the apple. With the advent of SweeTango, Chazy Orchards saw another opportunity to add a premier variety. We feel the SweeTango has the flavor and grower friendliness to even surpass Honeycrisp.
