Make your Crunch Count! Register for the MI Apple Crunch

The MI Apple Crunch is quickly approaching - make sure your event is counted! It's easy to participate - just register at http://bit.ly/MIAppleCrunch2019. In return, you'll receive information about where to find local apples and how to promote your event. We are hoping to reach 1.6 million crunches across the region - your registration will help us get there!

 

This year marks the first time that the Michigan Apple Crunch and the Great Lakes Apple Crunch will join forces for one great crunch. Schools, hospitals, early childcare and education programs and other organizations celebrate Michigan's abundance of fresh, local produce by collectively crunching into Michigan apples for this fun, one-day event. The official date is October 10, but you can celebrate anytime in October. Share your plans, photos from your event, and follow along on Facebook @miapplecrunch and @michiganfarmtoinstitution. 

 

To support your Michigan Apple Crunch:

• Check out Cultivate Michigan resources to help you source Michigan apples from distributors and food hubs for your institutions and promote them in your cafeterias.
•  Visit the Michigan Apple Committee website that has searchable tools to help you find Michigan apples at farm markets and stores as well as activities for kids and resources for teachers.
• Go to Michigan Farm to School for a range of resources and tools to help with your ongoing farm to school work at schools and early child care and education sites.
