Proudly a family farm

Farming the foothills of the Cascades for over ten years.

All our fruit is grown in the fertile Skagit Valley on our family farm in Concrete, Washington. Cider, dried apples and our other products are made here too, so every apple is grown, picked and processed on the same land.
