Apple Cracker is a family-owned and operated business with a rich legacy rooted in service, integrity, and a passion for animal nutrition. Our journey began back in 1969 when Leon Hess established what would eventually evolve into Stoltzfus Mineral Supply.

In 2011, our father, John Stoltzfus, took the reins of the business, driven by the same visionary spirit that guided its inception. Under his guidance, the business not only thrived but underwent a remarkable transformation. Within just a few years, Stoltzfus Mineral Supply experienced a remarkable 10x growth, a testament to John’s unwavering dedication and strategic decisions.

We took the mantle in September 2022, continuing our family’s commitment to the values and principles that have shaped our journey. We bring our unique skills and expertise to the table, ensuring that Apple Cracker products remain a beacon of quality, innovation, and customer care.
