Tree fruit and crops are grown on the Sacred land of the Yakama Indians using modern technology to assure optimum quality production and consistency.

We select rootstock, grow and graph our own trees to obtain the best possible varieties suited to our local soils, water and climatic conditions to 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.
