The 2024/2025 Honeycrisp crop is in shorter supply, and the current rate of movement is greater than supply can sustain.

Stemilt Growers, a long-standing pioneer in food safety, is proud to announce its latest achievement: becoming the first U.S. farming company to secure the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Addendum of Conformity from Safe Quality Foods (SQF).

From celebrating their 60th year anniversary, to launching new packaging, Stemilt has special plans for this year’s International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Floral and Produce Show.

Equipped with double the defect sorters and pear-protecting specifications, Stemilt’s new automated pear packing line aims to put freshness back into every box of Stemilt Rushing Rivers pears.

Stemilt Growers has reached a milestone donation of over $1.3 million through its partnership with the Washington Apple Education Foundation (WAEF).

This apple season’s promotions need all stems on deck to lift the crop as Honeycrisp shows a decrease in volume compared to last year.

Stemilt’s Marketing Director, Brianna Shales, shares making comparable sales on pears presents a challenge, but there are 5 key activities retailers can take advantage of during this rare crop.

To build velocity through apple sales in late August and September, Stemilt Marketing Director, Brianna Shales, suggests retailers put Rave apples on their roster for back-to-school promotions.

Over the course of a year, interns participated in three, three month-long internships in departments at Stemilt including production, IT, human resources, repack, and the retail store.
