BC’s Okanagan Valley boasts some of the best tree-fruit growing conditions found anywhere in the world, and hence some of the most amazing apples, pears, cherries, apricots, peaches, prune plums and nectarines available to consumers.
BC Tree Fruits is a part of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative, owned by more than 800 local grower families and dedicated to local, natural, and sustainable farming. They have been arranging for the promotion, packing, and transportation of their members’ produce since the good ol’ days back in 1936.
The history of orchards in the Okanagan Valley goes back nearly a century and a half, but the innovations employed by growers with BC Tree Fruits are cutting edge. The result is perfectly ripened, perfectly healthy fruit. Like their motto says, BC Tree Fruits are “way more than delicious.”
The BC Tree Fruits website provides a handy collection of harvest charts detailing when their products are in season, so you’ll be sure to have only the freshest and most amazing fruit on your table. Next time you’re at the produce market, be sure to check out BC Tree Fruits’ Ambrosia apple, a discovered in BC variety.
The CCFCC is grateful to BC Tree Fruits for providing BC brand apples, delicious and nutritious, at the 2011 National Conference this June!
