Our Association is structured to track each members’ apples on an individual packout basis. At the end of the harvest year, the fruit is pooled by variety and payout is based on the average price per unit. After deductions are made for overhead costs, the members receive all the proceeds available from the pool. Members are provided with field containers and other orchard supplies as well as technical information services to ensure a quality product and consistency at every step of production.
Individual blocks of fruit are tracked, from orchard to market, so that our growers can stay informed about how their fruit has performed. This allows the growers to alter their individual production systems to better meet the market’s needs.
