The
Maryland Apple
Promotion Board (MAPB) was
created by Maryland orchardists to educate
consumers and promote the use of locally
grown apples. All monies contributed by
growers are used to provide essential
information to the general public. The
preparation of recipe booklets and pamplets
regarding the nutritional value of apples
are only two of dozens of ways that the
MAPB serves
both the consumers and growers. While
consumption of Maryland apples increases
profits for growers, consumers benefit from
having a good supply of fresh, high quality,
local apples available at reasonable
prices.
Apple orchards
are located in most areas of the state with
a concentration of orchards in Washington,
Frederick and adjoining counties. Views
from these orchards can be breathtaking and
memorable. Many apple growers offer their
product in an orchard area or adjacent
roadside stand. Often you are able to
purchase cider and other autumn produce. A
trip into the country to get apples directly
from an orchard or roadside market makes for
a great family outing.
