OUR PROCESS
A FULLY INTEGRATED Model
We have the ability to freeze up to 1 million pounds of fruit a day.
Grow
We grow exceptionally fresh, quality fruit in the rich soil of the Pacific Northwest. Our stewardship of the land begins on our own farm, where we’re committed to sustainable growing practices that promote the vitality of natural resources.
NEXT:Freeze

For optimum freshness, our fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, carefully washed, and frozen within hours of harvest. With our state-of-the-art processing facility, we have the most freezing capacity of any fruit processor on the west coast.
NEXT:Pack
