Orchard
From just 30 acres in 1979 to a present-day acreage of 200 with more than 110,000 trees increasing in number each year, Apple Wedge Packers continues to renovate their high-density apple orchards, keeping an eye on production and labor efficiency. The varieties of apples grown at Apple Wedge are great for fresh eating or cooking!
It’s perfectly manufactured by a tree, its only energy cost is sunshine, it comes pre-wrapped, and it’s ridiculously good for you. Who wouldn’t want to sell a product like that?
