On Rosh Hashanah, we express our hope for a sweet new year by dipping fresh apples into some delicious honey. But finding the best organic, locally-sourced options isn’t always easy — so the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia did the work for you. Browse below for our picks across Greater Philadelphia.

And for those looking for a honey alternative? Not to worry: We’ve asked the best vegan chef there is, Rich Landau of Vedge and V Street, for his suggestion. “My pick would be Agave nectar, which is made from the blue agave cactus plant,” says Chef Landau. “It’s really delicious and sweet but with tons of depth and flavor.” You can find it just about everywhere, he adds, even at your local supermarket.

However you choose to dip your apples, Shanah Tovah!
