Apple Fritter by High Grass Farms Strain Review — Score: 9.6/10
From the moment I opened the bag I knew I was in for a treat. Every strain I've smoked that this team has cultivated has been fire. The Stoner Review has never given a 9.6/10 to any strain. This one is deserving.
High Grass Farms out of Buena, New Jersey (48,000 sq ft indoor facility, woman-owned, no pesticides, no remediation) keeps delivering. Their Apple Fritter is the real Sour Apple × Animal Cookies cut done right for the Garden State market.
Appearance
Dense, frosty, golf-ball to medium nugs with that classic Apple Fritter bag appeal — bright greens with purple flashes, vivid orange pistils, and a heavy trichome blanket that looks like it got rolled in powdered sugar. Sticky when you break it down. Looks like it belongs in a bakery window and a trophy case at the same time.
Aroma
Crack the bag and you get exactly what High Grass Farms lists: dank sour gas leading straight into sweet apples with citrus accents. Grind it and the bakery shop opens up — warm pastry, light cinnamon, and that tart green-apple edge. Room-filling without being loud in a bad way.
Flavor
Sour cooked apple on the inhale turns into earthy herbal tones with a creamy, lightly cakey finish. Smooth as hell. No harshness, no chemical aftertaste. Tastes like the name promised, which is rarer than it should be.

Effects
Sociable, uplifting, mood-enhancing, then relaxing. Fast onset cerebral lift that clears the head and puts a real smile on your face, followed by a warm, tingly body melt that never turns into full couch-lock unless you keep going. Perfect hybrid balance. Great for daytime creativity or evening wind-down. Lasted a solid couple hours.
The Verdict
High Grass Farms has been consistent as hell on everything I've tried from them. This Apple Fritter continues the streak. Clean grow, real terps, proper cure, and that South Jersey pride in the jar. If you see it on a NJ menu, grab it. Score: 9.6/10 — the highest score The Stoner Review has ever given.

Nose First, Percentage Second
Lab printouts are useful. They are not the whole story. A cut that smells loud, cured clean, and burns white will outperform a bigger THC number that tastes like cardboard. Ask for the nose. Ask who grew it. Ask what the jar smelled like when it opened — not just what the sticker claims.
At The Stoner Review we score what we actually smoke: flavor, effect shape, ash, and whether we would buy it again with our own money. That is the difference between a menu write-up and a field note.
