We are a 501(c) 6 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the increased consumption of apples in the United States. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and network of Committees.
Apples are a delicious, portable, ready-to-eat nutritional powerhouse, delivering fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants all in one great-tasting package. Yet apple consumption currently is facing huge challenges, including increased competition, activist attacks that damage consumer perception, lack of availability via foodservice and other food channels, and a need for industry-wide collaboration and congruence.
To overcome these challenges, a national, industry-led, not-for-profit Apple-Dedicated Advocacy and Marketing Initiative has formed, Eat More Apples™.
Eat More Apples™ represents a unified and efficient effort by the apple industry to elevate the understanding of the vital benefits of apple consumption for nutrition, physical and mental health, and food equity. Through this industry-led and managed 501 (c) 6 nonprofit, we will drive increased consumer demand, build stronger awareness and appreciation among health and nutrition experts, improve overall perceptions of apples and our industry, and ultimately help sustain American farm families.
Currently, we have the support of apple growers, packers, sales and marketing partners across Washington, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and more. Change Now, it's your turn to Join us!
