Biting into a Michigan Apple is more than eating a piece of fruit. It’s a mind‑blowing, crunch‑packed, juice‑a‑licious experience.
Taste tests prove that Michigan apples are crunchier, juicier, and more flavorful…and consumer research has shown that shoppers believe Michigan Apples are fresher and taste better than the same varieties grown elsewhere. In fact, it’s a fact that Michigan slices more apples than any other state for use in pies and fresh-cut slices.

Here, in Michigan, our family-run orchards dominate apple products (versus industrial farms). We are a state full of passionate, apple harvesting families with many of their orchards being passed down from generation to generation.
Thanks to Michigan’s sunny days and cool nights, our apples are elevated in flavor, color, and crisp bite due to our proximity to the Great Lakes. This allows us to have nutrient-dense soil.
Most of our apples are grown near Lake Michigan, where ancient glaciers left behind light, well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The climate in this region is moderated by the lake—curbing extreme temperatures, protecting fragile spring buds, and extending the growing season later into fall. Sunny days and cool nights sharpen our apples’ flavor, color, and crisp bite.

One-hundred years ago, these families grew out-of-the-ordinary varieties that they are likely to still grow today, offering apple fans a taste of Michigan’s rich history.
