Okanogan

See all regions

The terraced riverside orchards of this scenic region produce much of our late-season apples. Located in northern Washington, it consists of the narrow Methow Valley, with lush orchards hugging the Methow River, and the wider, steep-walled Okanogan Valley. Shorter growing days and cool temperatures produce truly excellent apples.

A HIGHER STANDARD

Washington’s apple standards are the most rigorous in the country. We evaluate every apple's color, weight, pressure, sugar level, size, and condition before and after harvest before any fruit is packed up and sold.
