Michigan Apple Crunch
The 2026 Michigan Apple Crunch will take place on Thursday, October 15!
Join in the festivities by crunching into a locally-grown Michigan Apple on Crunch Day, October 15, or any day in October.
What is the Michigan Apple Crunch?
The Michigan Apple Crunch is an annual event supported by MSU Extension, the Michigan Farm to Institution Network, and the Michigan Apple Committee to promote National Farm to School Month and celebrate the iconic Michigan Apple.
Thousands of participants from K-12 schools, Early Care and Education sites, and other institutions and organizations across the state register to crunch into a local Michigan apple on Crunch Day. Apples provide a great way to get local schools and institutions excited about supporting local farmers and they are a nutritious snack that is available in Michigan most of the year.
To show your support for Michigan farmers and Farm to Institution Programs, be sure to register and participate in this year’s Michigan Apple Crunch!
Thank you to the Michigan Apple Committee for their support updating the Crunch logo and materials this year!
