American Indian
Tree Fruit and Produce

Orchard
Tree Fruit: Our main tree fruit
production includes apples, cherries, pears, peaches, nectarines and
plums.
Land: tree fruit and crops are grown on the Sacred
land of the Yakama Indians using modern technology to assure optimum
quality
production and consistency.
Technology: We select rootstock, grow and graph our own
trees to obtain the best possible varieties suited to our local soils,
water
and climatic conditions and produce excellent quality fruit. Our orchards are irrigated with clean fresh
water from our sacred mountain, Mount Adams (Pahto to
the Yakama Indians).
Crop
production: We utilize high density
planting, with both free standing and trellis systems; irrigate
utilizing rill,
overhead and ground sprinklers; cooling systems for sunburn protection
and
timely harvest management in our operation. To
assure excellent fruit quality we use certified crop
production and
crop protection agricultural supplies, which are managed and applied by
experienced,
certified and well trained field personnel.
Markets: Our fruit is sold mainly on the International
Market. In partnership with the
Intertribal Agricultural council (IAC) and the United States Department
of
Agricultural, Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA FAS), we market our
fruit and produce
to the world at the International Trade Shows in Hong Kong, Japan, France, Singapore, Canada, United
Kingdom, Germany, and we
specially select the
Mexican market.
