We do not add sugar to our cider - that sweetness... that’s the apples! There are no nuts or gluten in our cider facility. For flavored ciders, we do use seasoning mixes from a facility that does utilize gluten and tree nuts but in a separate part of their plant. They have provided us with a verified allergen program to prevent cross-contamination of allergenic materials. We do not grow or work with growers who grow GMO-modified apples - there’s only one variety that is GMO. And cider is all apples - although bees do help out those blossoms in the spring so the apples can set :)
The Apple Truck apples are grown, picked, and packed with love and skill on small family farms in Michigan. Michigan soil, temperature, and proximity from the great lakes make our apples extra special. Michigan apples are considered some of the best-tasting apples in the world.

The Apple Truck apples surpass grocery store apples because they are just hours off the tree when we ship them. Additionally, The Apple Truck apples are picked when they are ripe and not a second before. Grocery store apples can spend many, many days and months in distribution or storage before making it to their final location, which is why their flavor and texture can be so inconsistent.
Michigan apple season typically spans from late August through late October or early November. Our tour starts in early September and runs until early November.
Michigan's climate is ideal for apple harvesting due to its nutrient-rich soil and proximity to the freshwater Great Lakes. As a result, any quality fruit produced in Michigan guarantees a spectacular experience with every bite: They are perfectly crisp and firm every time!

Most grocery store apples you are eating today were likely either picked last season or are imported. This means there has been a long journey from the farm to the shelf to your table. The Apple Truck brings apples to you only a few days after they have been picked from the tree. That means crisper and tastier apples for you! Additionally, our partner farms do not have to store apples over the winter, which is a step in the right direction for a smarter, more sustainable food chain.
No, we do not wax our apples.
