Meet Red Delicious. But please, call him Pop-Pop. Meet Red Delicious. But please, call him Pop-Pop. Everybody does. 🍎

With 30 grandkids, a pocket full of caramels and a story for just about everything, Pop-Pop is the kind of apple who never forgets a birthday… even if it takes him six names to get there.

These days, you can usually find him reading to the little ones, sneaking the grandkids an extra treat and keeping his wife’s memory close.

We’re lucky to call Michigan home, and this #Natio We’re lucky to call Michigan home, and this #NationalAppleMonth we’re taking a moment to appreciate all the apples that grow here. The orchards that families return to each fall. The jug of fresh Michigan cider that finds its way into your grocery cart. And the people who spend their days growing, picking, packing and sharing Michigan Apples with the world.

There’s so much care behind every harvest, and so much to love about the place it comes from!

Pssst! Not only is October National Apple Month, but @gewhitmer is once again proclaiming October to be #MichiganAppleMonth!
