About Chelan Fresh
Pear Harvest Update
The Northwest Pear harvest is in full swing with an expected crop that will be slightly smaller than last season. Growing conditions in the NW have been ideal through the summer so in spite of the smaller numbers, the crop is expected to be very high quality this season.
Bartlett pears with their beautiful yellow skin and sweet, juicy flavor are available now. The Bartlett pear is iconic as a late summer into fall favorite. After the Bartlett pears are picked then come the Starkrimson and Red Bartlett pears by early September, followed by Concorde, D’Anjou, Bosc and Red Anjou by late September.
Chelan Fresh can meet all your pear needs with our 2lb and 3lb variety specific pouch bags as well as bulk offerings. Call our Chelan Fresh team for more info about featuring Chelan Fresh pears in your store.
Chef Meg Raines has put together the perfect recipes to feature pears at breakfast, in sandwiches, salads, desserts and decorating you can click here for all your Pear Inspiration.

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.
