NATIONAL APPLE MONTH HISTORY
In 1905, Captian James Handly of Quincy, Il united growers across the United States to support an annual observance of National Apple Day. The movement joined growers, distributors, and sales in the purpose of increasing sales and improving awareness of the product they provided to the general public. Their endeavor that started in 1905 grew into a week and then a month-long celebration. By 1973, National Apple Month became an annual event that’s looked forward to by producers and consumers alike. Today, the U.S. Apple Association supports the annual event and the individual organizations involved.
