Sage Fruit Company
The origins of the Sage Fruit Company are rooted in the history of immigrant families who came to the fertile Yakima Valley to farm. They found the climate ideally suited to growing tree fruits. In the 1900’s, these families took the operations to the next level, building packing facilities to complement the orchard businesses.
Founded in August, 1999, Sage Fruit Company has become a premier grower-shipper of apples, pears, and cherries. Located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, they take great pride in a commitment to quality, innovation, and service. Sage growers farm several thousand acres of orchards throughout the state of Washington, as well as parts of Oregon. They offer many variety of apples, and pears throughout the year. During the summer months, they pack Dark Sweet and Rainier cherries.
Three family businesses from Central Washington own Sage Fruit Company. These include Valley Fruit in Wapato, Olympic Fruit in Moxee, and Larson Fruit in Selah.
