New York State really is the Big Apple. Our state is the second largest producer of apples in the country and home to over 675 commercial apple growers. The nonprofit represents fresh apple growers, processors, and both cider and hard cider makers throughout New York. The New York Apple Association (NYAA) represents more than 500 apple growers across New York State and serves as the official marketing and promotion organization for New York apples. Rooted in a proud agricultural tradition and supported by a diverse network of growers, shippers, and industry partners, the Association works to advance the long-term competitiveness of New York apples in local, national, and global markets. Through strategic market development and coordinated promotional efforts, NYAA strengthens demand while ensuring that growers’ interests are effectively represented across the supply chain.
