About Chelan Fresh
Quick Start to Washington Cherry Season!
This year the cherry season will begin quickly and continue with strong availability throughout late June into early August. Tim Evans, Sales Director for Chelan Fresh, states, “We are excited about the size and quality of our crop this year. We feel retailers and consumers alike will appreciate the good color, larger size and firm profile of our Chelan Fresh cherries. Red cherries and Rainier cherries will hit peak supply in time for large July 4th retail displays.” Evans also adds “Our projected volume will allow us to keep our customers with very good ad volume until August.”

New, Crisp and Sweet!
We are happy to share that there is a lot of excitement about our all new apple variety! Large and round with bright red and yellow coloring, the new SugarBee® apple from Chelan Fresh has a crispy firm texture and is unbelievably sugar-sweet! Our delicious SugarBee® apples are lovingly grown and hand-picked on the fertile slopes of the Cascade Mountains in central Washington. They are delivered fresh from the grower to you. Touching sky and earth, our Chelan Fresh orchards are cooled by crisp air lifted from the beautiful Columbia River.
