Stemilt is a Native American word that means ‘coming from the mountains’ or ‘foothills to the mountains.’ Stemilt Growers is a leading tree fruit company that grows, packs, ships and markets fresh apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines and apricots to stores worldwide. Stemilt is also the leading producer of organic fruits and sweet cherries. Recently Hrish, Reyansh and I had a chance to experience these Apples at Spar in Bangalore.
Apples have been synonymous with Stemilt for over a century thanks to the Mathison family’s foresight to plant apples under Central Washington’s desert landscape that’s rich with volcanic soils way back in the early 1900s. Multiple varieties of apples are grown like the classic Golden Delicious and Granny Smith to newbies like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and their signature, Piñata apples.
The company roots trace back to 1893 when the first generation of Mathisons homesteaded 160 acres on Stemilt Hill overlooking the Columbia River and the town of Wenatchee, Washington. By 1914, the Mathison’s began planting fruit orchards on Stemilt Hill. In 1964, the third-generation farmer Tom Mathison founded Stemilt Growers on the premise that consumers should have access to flavor-first fruit. Tom passed away in 2008, but his legacy continues to live on at Stemilt. Today, Stemilt is still family-owned and operated. Tom’s grandson, West Mathison, leads the company as president, while Tom’s children, grandchildren, and relatives continue their involvement as growers and employees. For going on six generations, the Mathison family has been committed to growing the best-tasting fruits for you and your family to enjoy.
Our son Reyansh enjoyed the Stemilt apples as he loves fresh apples..
Responsible Choice® is Stemilt’s sustainability and social responsibility program. Stemilt founder Tom Mathison launched the program in 1989, long before sustainability was a buzzword. That same year, he transitioned a large number of acres to organic production and began implementing integrated pest management techniques in orchards to reduce pesticide use. Now in its third decade, Responsible Choice® is a strong part of Stemilt’s culture, and evidence of the program in action can be seen every day, and across our farming and packing operations.
IG International and Stemilt transported us straight to foothills of Wenatchee, U.S.A with the high-quality and great-taste of Stemilt Apples!
You can also experience the Red Delicious and Pinata Apple variety of Stemilt apple which are now available at all Spar Hyper Markets, in Bangalore. The classic coke-bottle shape and color of Red Delicious make it one of the most well-known apple varieties in the U.S. whereas the Piñata variety is Stemilt’s signature. Fresh from Washington, these apples are not just crisp and juicy but full of flavors that deliver a unique and unforgettable eating experience.
