SweeTango’s success hinges on committed growers at orchards from New York to Washington state, from Nova Scotia to Quebec.

SweeTango is a managed apple variety, which means only licensed growers can produce the fruit. Next Big Thing, A Growers Cooperative, ensures that SweeTango apples are produced using only the highest quality sites and growing practices.

Next Big Thing includes 45 of the best fruit growers in the United States and Canada. The cooperative was formed in 2006 after Pepin Heights Orchard, Inc., received the license to commercialize Minneiska cultivar from the University of Minnesota.
