Happy National Farmers Day! 🍎🚜

There’s nothing like being in the middle of harvest in apple country! 🍎

From orchards to packing houses, storage facilities and sales desks, spending time with the hardworking, innovative and passionate people who make it all happen makes us so proud to be part of the apple industry.

Experiences like these make us better at what we do back in Washington, D.C. Huge thanks to everyone who welcomed us, showed us around and shared their knowledge.

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) trade data, fresh apple exports totaled nearly 45 million bushels in 2025/26 (July to June). This is around 800,000 bushels more than 2024/25 export levels – a 2% increase.

During the same period, fresh apple imports declined by 550,000 bushels, or 12%.

More exports + fewer imports = a trade balance of nearly 41 million bushels!

Meet USApple NextGen Fellow Stephanie Rojas, Human Resources Director at Taggares Fruit Company in Burbank, WA. 🍎

Stephanie gives us a look at what it takes to bring in the apple harvest across 3,000 acres—from preparing crews for the day ahead to food safety, careful handling, and quality checks along the way.

It’s a fast-paced operation, but at the heart of it all are the people who make harvest happen. Happy harvest! 🍏

It’s Johnny Appleseed Day! 🍎

Nearly 250 years ago, John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, was born in Massachusetts. Beginning in the early 1800s, he traveled across the American frontier, planting apple nurseries and trees that helped provide settlers with orchards across the Midwest.

His legacy lives on in American apple-growing history and in the enduring legend of the man who planted trees wherever he went. 🍏

Here’s to Johnny Appleseed and the seeds he left behind!

Second in the world! That's where U.S. apple production stands, and it's no accident. Our orchards strengthen food security and power rural economies, all while competing in a marketplace that demands constant quality and innovation. Staying at the top takes more than hard work in the field. It takes smart farm policy that keeps America competitive. 🍎

Beyond the orchard lies a vast supply chain: packers and shippers, the sales and marketing desks, processors and c***r makers, nurseries, scientists, truckers and retailers.

Taken together, the U.S. apple industry supports more than 150,000 jobs, generates $10 billion in wages and $2 billion in tax revenue, and contributes $23 billion to the national economy.

September is National Fruits & Veggies Month! The U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines outline daily targets of 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables.

One of the easiest ways to work toward that goal is by eating an apple!

Happy Labor Day! 🍎🇺🇸

We’ll take any opportunity to celebrate the people who work hard every day to get food from farms to tables across America.

Today, we’re especially grateful for the growers, farmworkers, packers and countless others who keep the apple industry moving and help feed our nation. Thank you for all you do. 🍏
