Owen Native Foods is proud to seasonally sell our Cacapon™ West Virginia Pawpaws and other select variety pawpaw seedlings. Our native Cacapon™ variety bears fruits that can weigh over a half pound each, and do to its source in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia, it is hardier than other similar cultivars sourced from nearby, but more mild climates. The fruit has a strong tropical aroma and the fruit has a wonderful creamy, custardy texture with a superb balance of flavor that blends hints of banana and mango.
ONF seasonally sells fresh whole fruit. We begin harvest in September!
ONF doesn’t waste much so post harvest we have a fresh stock of Cacapon™ Pawpaw seeds for sale. Save money and grow your own trees. They come with damp peat moss and are ready to be stratified throughout the winter in your fridge and planted in the spring.
