About this product

For five generations Superfresh Growers has been harvesting the best quality fruit from our orchards in the Pacific Northwest. We grow thousands of acres of the world’s finest apples, pears, and cherries on the shrub-steppes of the Columbia River Basin. Fruit trees thrive here, under warm days and cool nights. Our dry climate means we have fewer disease and pest problems than any other apple, pear, or cherry growing region in the world. We employ integrated pest management, a system which allows good and bad bugs to fight it out before we intervene. We closely manage natural resources to assure that our trees flourish while our rivers remain clean and clear. We invite you to enjoy our safe and tasty fruit, knowing that it comes from a pristine land that is cared for by stewards who are deeply committed to keeping our skies blue and our water clean.
