Question 2

Is The Apple Truck Co affiliated with any other company?

Accepted Answer

The Apple Truck branding was purchased in 2023 by Apple Co Services & Investment and rebranded as the Apple Truck Co.

Question 3

Is your cider gluten, nut and GMO free? Do you add sugar?"

Accepted Answer

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 :)

Question 4

Where are your apples sourced?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

How fresh are The Apple Truck apples?

Accepted Answer

Apples from our trees will make it to your hands typically within 48-72
hours of picking.

Question 11

Why are The Apple Truck apples so much better than grocery store apples?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

When is the Michigan apple season?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

Why are Michigan apples so amazing?

Accepted Answer

Michigan apples are simply the best! Thanks to our nutrient-rich soil and the Great Lakes' freshwater, our apples are perfectly crisp and firm every time. You'll love every bite!

Question 14

Tell me about your Honeycrisp Apple cider.

Accepted Answer

This sweet, crisp apple leads with a hint of honey and has created a buzz in the last decade - making for a deliciously fresh, pressed cider. Our Honeycrisp apple cider is made in Michigan from a blend of Michigan apples. Our Honeycrisp cider is pasteurized, extending the life, quality, and safety of our product. The product should be used within 30 days of purchase.

Question 15

Why The Apple Truck Apples?

Accepted Answer

All of The Apple Truck apples are grown and packed with care and skill by small family orchards in Michigan.

Michigan's climate is ideal for apple harvesting due to its nutrient-rich soil and proximity to the freshwater Great Lakes. As a result, the quality fruit produced in Michigan guarantees a spectacular experience with every bite. Our apples 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.

Question 16

Are you apples waxed?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not wax our apples.
