DEVELOPMENT OF FYREFLY®

Bruce Hollabaugh

THE FOUNDATION OF FYREFLY®: The idea for Fyrefly® was masterminded by our beloved Bruce. With the growing number of apple breeding programs trying to create the next “new hit”, Bruce believed we could do the same. There was a particular apple on the farm that we thought had potential. We proceeded to work with a local nursery to graft cuttings from this particular apple tree.

2023:  Two years later we launched our extended line of Fyrefly® apple products. We introduced Fyrefly® applesauce, peanut butter, snitz, and shelf-stable cider. Our harvest quantities are continuing to grow larger and larger!

2020-2021: After many extended discussions, we finally decided on the perfect name for the apple, “Fyrefly®”. The logo and tagline were soon to follow. The first planting of FyreFly® took place in spring of 2020, with the first harvest taking place in 2021.
