Operations

Inland Fruit Company, a dedicated leader in the produce industry, is committed to maintaining its leadership role through this new millennium. Currently, the company employs approximately 600 quality-trained workers that assist in the production of over 6,000,000 cartons of packed fruit per year. The company's three large packing facilities are all conveniently located in the Yakima Valley, which is geographically centered directly in the heart of fruit country.

The company's main office and loading facility are located just 8 miles south of Yakima, in the town of Wapato, WA, which is on the Yakama Indian Reservation. Easily accessible, just off of Highway 97, the Wapato facility houses a large indoor six-bay loading area with an experienced crew that is dedicated to making customer service the top priority of each working day.

The Wapato facility utilizes a High-Tech 16 lane sorter that electronically grades and sorts fruit by color and size. This high production system gently sorts Peaches, Nectarines, and Apples. Bulk product is stored in high capacity cold rooms that utilize the latest controlled atmosphere technology.

The Zillah facility sets a new standard for fruit packing operations. Conveniently located off Interstate 82, this High-Tech facility houses one of the industry's most advanced cherry packing operations. State of the art cold storate rooms hold some of Washington State's finest pears.

The Yakima operation is known for its outstanding quality packed apples and pears. The facility is located in West Yakima. Bulk product is pre-sorted in the Yakima facility on a high production pre-sizer. After the product is pre-sized, it is packed at a later date on one of the company's three high production packing lines.

Inland Fruit Company combines technology with time-proven methods that help to provide customers with high quality consistent products at a fair market price.
