Video slot — tag goes on at the row, 60s silent loop

¡Qué Linda!

Every bin we handle
can tell you where
it has been.


A tag goes on at the row and comes off at the shelf. Grower, block, variety, pick date. It is the least glamorous thing we do and the reason every other claim on this page is checkable.

Five hand-offs between the tree and the shelf. Most supply chains lose the thread at the first one. Here is what we hold onto at each.

  1. In the block

    Rootstock, pruning, thinning, water. We believe premium starts long before harvest — which means the grower's decisions are the product, and we should be in the row for them, not just the invoice.

  2. Picked

    The tag goes on before the bin leaves the row. Quality is never accidental, and neither is knowing whose season you are holding.

  3. Packed

    Fresh grade goes to retail packs. What misses fresh goes to our sister company Crunch Pak as slices, instead of going to the discount pile. Every apple has purpose.

  4. Shipped

    Domestic and export. The tag number still resolves, which is the difference between assured supply and a promise made in August.

  5. Back to the grower

    And then the part nobody designs: the return. Growers deserve more value, and they deserve to see the arithmetic that produced it. Same lot number, all the way through.

Read it from either end.


A grower reads the chain forward. A buyer reads it backwards. Both end up holding the same tag.

We believe…


  • growers deserve more value
  • premium should mean something
  • every apple has purpose
  • partnerships matter
  • quality is never accidental
