🛍 Product Information :
Washington Apples from Northern Company refer to premium fresh apples grown and packed by Northern Fruit Company, a respected grower, packer, and shipper based in East Wenatchee, Washington. Founded in 1928, Northern Fruit Company (often branded as "Nordic") specializes in Washington state apples and cherries, prioritizing exceptional quality, consistency, and careful handling over sheer volume.
Washington state produces the majority of U.S. apples thanks to its ideal climate—volcanic soil, abundant sunshine, cool nights, and sophisticated irrigation—resulting in crisp, juicy, vibrantly colored fruit. Common varieties include Red Delicious, Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. Northern's apples are sorted with state-of-the-art Greefa technology for uniform size, color, and minimal bruising, making them highly sought after for fresh eating, baking, juicing, or cider. They deliver that classic Washington apple experience: super crisp texture, balanced sweetness with bright acidity, and intense fresh aroma.
