About our Fruit
Many people ask why we specialize in Fuji Apples. The answer is
simple. When we decided to grow fruit we wanted the best tasting
product we could find. We tasted almost every variety out there and
decided that Fuji was our favorite. Then, by pure luck, we discovered
that our location was extremely well suited for growing this variety.
The sugar content and crispness of our fruit is consistently some of
the highest in the state. We achieve this by not picking any fruit
for sale until it reaches optimum maturity.
Our fruit is Certified Organic by the Washington State Department
of Agriculture. That means that a third party has verified that all of
the crop production practices have been inspected to assure that they
comply with the Organic Standards. We do not use synthetic
fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, or herbicides. We maintain
organic matter in the soil to maintain nutritional balance. We use
biological means to control pests, and encourage natural predators. By
doing this we have helped nature establish a natural ecosystem that is
in balance and is quite efficient.
When we pack your fruit we do not apply any wax or other unnatural
compound. If you would like us to "shine" your fruit for
cosmetic reasons we will do this the old fashioned way….by hand.
We are so confident that you will love our fruit that we guarantee
your satisfaction. If you are in any way unsatisfied, we will refund
your money, replace the fruit, or make another equitable arrangement
with you.
