Located at the foothills of the White Mountain National Forest in Warren, NH, AppleKnockers General Store is more than just a place to grab gas or coffee. The store’s name honors the "apple knockers" of the past and embodies the adaptability that has shaped New England’s small communities and continues to sustain them today.

But What’s an “AppleKnocker,” Anyway?

"Apple knocking" refers to the practice of using long sticks to knock ripe apples from trees. This method originated when early New Englanders relied on creativity and self-sufficiency to overcome challenges. It reflects the practicality and inventive spirit often attributed to New Englanders—a spirit that still permeates its culture today.
