Back in September, I had the great honor and pleasure of visiting Washington again. I used to live there so going back for a visit was a true joy! The trip was hosted by Stemilt Growers and we got to visit an apple and a pear orchard and visit one of their packing facilities.

Stemilt is a family-owned fruit company that’s been in business since 1964. The Mathison family (who we got to meet!) owns and operates Stemilt Growers, and proudly grows, packs, and ships the best apples, pears, cherries, and summer fruits for you and your family to enjoy. Click here to learn more about Stemilt’s history and unique approach to farming, innovation, and sustainability.

The weather was perfect and it was a gorgeous day! We even got to pick our own apples!

In addition to apples, Stemilt also grows summer fruit, cherries and pears! Click here to see a beautiful pear almond tart I made with my Stemilt D’Anjou pears!

Never before have a met a company (everyone from the apple pickers at the orchards to the people in the packing plant to the owners of the company) who cares as much about what they are doing and the quality fruit they are producing, than Stemilt.

From fueling orchards with world-famous compost to providing employees and their dependents with access to a free, on-site health clinic, Stemilt focuses on three areas of responsibility for program initiatives. From Stemilt:

  1. Social Responsibility Efforts– our employees power our business and help make our fruits famous
  2. Sustainability at Our Orchards – we must care for the land and natural resources we rely on to grow fruit
  3. Sustainability in Our Packing Facilities– we must look for efficiencies that ensure Stemilt will be a sustainable business for future generations to come

Their apples are “harvested by hand from August to November, and packed with care most days of the year. Stemilt strives to produce apples with world famous qualities. They want us to enjoy the best tasting apples every time you eat one.”

And that is what you get when you purchase apples from Stemilt. Quality, care and the best tasting apples. Stay up-to-date with Stemilt on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
