The Great Apple Crunch - October 9, 2025 It's Apple Crunch Time!
Join us for the annual Great Apple Crunch to celebrate Farm to School Month, support local Minnesota farmers, and promote resilient communities!!
October is National Apple Month and National Farm to School Month. That’s why here in Minnesota we celebrate the Great Lakes Apple Crunch. The Great Lakes Great Apple Crunch encourages healthy eating and supports farm to school and other local food purchasing initiatives throughout the region. It’s also a fun way to connect food and agriculture to classroom curriculum – from science to art and more!
The Apple Crunch is a way to get students and individuals excited about delicious local produce, help students understand where their food comes from, and support local farmers. Across the state, students taste-test different apple varieties, take field trips to local farms, and participate in other apple-themed learning activities.
Ask your child what they learned today and if they like their apples?
