Our Apples
Our 2026 Apple Varieties
Explore the apples of Pip & Barrel Appleworks. From heirloom favorites to rare discoveries, our apple library grows each year with new varieties. Each apple has its own flavor, season, and story and helps us to celebrate the diversity and deliciousness of the apple harvest.
Welcome to the Pip & Barrel Apple Catalogue,
..our running collection of apple varieties grown right here in our orchard in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. This is where you can explore the apples we grow, what makes each one unique, and when to expect them during the season.
Below you’ll find the apples we’re planning to offer fresh for the 2026 harvest. Not everything we grow is listed here. Some varieties are held back for cider, fresh-pressed apple juice, jams, and our Pomora, where those apples get to show off in a completely different way.
Each apple has its own personality, story, and best use. Some are crisp and snackable, some are made for baking, and some are just plain weird in the best way. Click into each variety to get a feel for what you’re biting into.
We’re still building this out as the orchard grows, so photos and details are being added as we go. If something looks a little light, it’s coming. Good apples take time, and apparently so do good photos.
* Many of these apples are new to us and the descriptions and ratings are based on information we’ve collected and compiled from other trusted resources. In other instances where we are familiar with the apples, the descriptions are based on our opinion; you may love something we don’t or dislike something we love. That’s the beauty of apples; there is something for everyone!
