Applegate
Applegate is a village in southeastern Sanilac County a short way inland from the Lake Huron shore in the Thumb's farm country, a small community with surrounding farms and a base of farms, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Applegate area's farms, contractors, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
