On Thursday October 10, 2024 we Appleknockers joined the Great Apple Crunch to celebrate Illinois farmers, healthy kids, and strong communities. Participating in the Crunch is simple: buy, serve, and Crunch into locally grown apples! Since 2015 Illinois Farm to School Network has hosted the Crunch in Illinois. Beginning in 2015 with just 45,000 participants, to 2019 with a whopping 605,000 participants the Great Apple Crunch has engaged kids all across Illinois! Now, the Crunch is growing once again and they anticipated over 500,000 Illinois kids were Crunching in October. Special thanks to Flamm Orchards for the donation of apples for the Great Apple Crunch, and thanks to Rendleman Orchards for allowing AV Club to shoot part of this story in their orchards. Thank you to Mason Lyerla, lead editor of Appleknocker News, for filming and editing the story. #GreatAppleCrunch #ILAppleCrunch Video Link- https://youtu.be/bFJSqkG4OvY
