Brian Wernstrom from Peterson Farms in Shelby, Michigan, is looking to purchase bulk apples from Wisconsin growers, both currently and long-term.

He is interested in truckload quantities from the 2026 crop, with preferred varieties including Gala, Empire, Jonagold, Ida Red, Rome, and Golden Delicious (other varieties can also be used for their sauce and juice programs).

Brian is willing to pick up the apples at your location and can make multiple stops. If you have apples to sell but not enough for a full truckload, multiple growers can combine their yields for pickup.

If you are interested, you can reach Brian directly:
