Some people talk apples. Kait Thornton lives them.
Known to many as Apple Girl Kait, Kait has become a beloved friend of Cosmic Crisp® and one of our favorite voices in agriculture. Equal parts grower, educator and storyteller, she brings orchard life to social feeds with heart, humor and a whole lot of apple enthusiasm.
And trust us, this girl knows a good apple.
Coming from a multigenerational farming family that recently celebrated 100 years of farming, Kait shares what life behind the orchard rows really looks like, from harvest hustle to everyday grower moments. Through her direct-to-consumer fruit business and social storytelling, she helps connect people to where their food comes from in a way that feels personal and fun.
She’s also a proud Washington State University alum, where Cosmic Crisp® was born (Go Cougs!), and a passionate advocate for inspiring future generations in agriculture.
She’s the real deal, and we’re proud to call her a Cosmic Crisp® brand ambassador.
