An apple farmer is someone who grows and harvests apples on their land. They plant different varieties of apple trees, care for them by watering and fertilizing, and protect them from pests. During the harvest season, the farmer picks ripe apples and prepares them for sale. Apple farmers often work long hours, especially in the fall when the apples are ready to be picked. They may sell their apples at local farmers' markets or supply them to grocery stores. Many apple farmers also enjoy sharing their knowledge about growing apples with visitors who come to their orchards.
