You don't need to be a student, teacher, or dietitian to use these apple facts, word games and stories here. Teachers can get information about Wisconsin apples to plan an apple unit or an orchard tour.

Students can get apple facts or a brief history of apples here to produce an apple project. Everyone will love the Johnny Appleseed story--yes, he was a real person!
