“This season, we will have about 4,500 tons of Juliet apples,” said Vincent Lehallier of Les Amis de Juliet. “About 3,500 tons of that will go to the fresh market.” With over 99 growers throughout France growing the variety and distribution from Cardell, Juliet apple production is expected to reach 10,000 tons in 2016.

Les Amis de Juliet was founded in 2005, and it promotes the Juliet apple. It also ensures that all production of the apple is done under strict organic standards.
