Apple family
Redirected from Sweet Apple Acres
Added by ThrowawaytvThough the extended family is quite large, only four Apple family members live in Ponyville: Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh and Granny Smith. It is an interesting note that the Apple Siblings (Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Apple Bloom) are inversely colored to each other: Applejack's mane/tail and Apple Bloom's coat are yellow, Apple Bloom's mane/tail and Big Macintosh's coat are red, and Big Macintosh's mane/tail and Applejack's coat are orange.
They are introduced as "The Apple Family" in the episode Friendship is Magic, part 1, when Applejack invites Twilight Sparkle and Spike to brunch. Applejack is also related to The Oranges.
Applejack sounds off the following ponies: Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith. Apple Strudel makes an appearance in Family Appreciation Day, wearing a Bavarian hat and traditional dress.
Applejack later explains to Twilight in Applebuck Season that her relatives had all gathered for the Apple family reunion, and had been working at their own farms at the time, and were unable to lend a hand to Applejack. However, several of them, including Apple Fritter, help to prepare Applejack's surprise party in The Last Roundup. Another relative, Braeburn, is introduced in Over a Barrel. He lives in the frontier town of Appleloosa, along with many more apple farmers. Applejack's aunt Apple Brown Betty is mentioned, but does not appear, in The Ticket Master. Her Aunt and Uncle Orange are introduced in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.
It is mentioned in Family Appreciation Day that Applejack's portion of the Apple family lives in Ponyville due to the Zap Apples that they farm there. Ponyville sprang up around Sweet Apple Acres due to their unique fruit, which also explains why the town lies so close to the Everfree Forest, as it is the native habitat of the Zap Apples, which only produce fruit in reaction to events that occur there due to their magical nature.
Sweet Apple Acres
Edit
Sweet Apple Acres is the apple farm located near Ponyville, home to Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith. The farm's primary crop is apples, though corn and carrots are grown as well, shown in The Return of Harmony Part 1 and The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. Grapes may also grow there, often crushed by hoof for juice as shown in Sisterhooves Social.
Farm animals being raised are pigs living in the barn seen in The Show Stoppers, a chicken coop for eggs shown in Owl's Well That Ends Well, and sheep shown in Sisterhooves Social. Applejack owns a working dog named Winona who also lives on the farm.
Every year, the farm hosts the Sisterhooves Social, a county fair-type, sisterly bonding event for older and younger sisters.
