October is National Apple Month, the only national, apple promotion in the United States. Originally founded in 1904 as National Apple Week, it was expanded to the entire month of October. We’re celebrating with a Let’s Fall For Apples $50 Gift Card Giveaway to two of our favorite York County orchards, Brown’s Orchards & Farm Market and Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market.
Did you know that Pennsylvania’s apple growers harvest between 10 and 12 million bushels of apples per year? This production ranks Pennsylvania as fifth in the nation!
The four south central Pennsylvania counties of Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and York make up one of the Eastern United States’ greatest apple growing regions. However, apples are grown in all 67 counties.
You can enter in your local Heritage Valley branch between Sept 23 – Oct 1 or on our social media channels. Check out the news and enter on our Facebook or Instagram pages!
