Idaho has been committed to growing apples for more than a century.  Idaho farmers helped pioneer the apple industry in the northwestern United State.  Many major Idaho apple orchards began producing fruit in the 1890s.

 

The apple-growing region of Idaho occupies a relatively small area in the southwestern side of the state near Boise.  Nestled in a valley between the Snake and Payette Rivers, this region is perfectly suited for growing apples of the highest quality .  Idaho’s terrain, microclimate, volcanic soil, and abundant water supply provide essential elements to guarantee a superb tasting apple.
