When
Morris Riessen was selling apples from the back of an open truck
in 1907, he probably had no idea his great grandson would be in
the business a century later.
In between, his son Izzy and grandson Jerry founded a company which
sold packaged apples to retailers in 1952. Their first two major
customers in the 1950s were Wegmans Food Markets and
Publix Super Markets. That relationship with those progressive retailers
continues to this day. Indeed, our business has grown 10 fold since
that time.
The reason for our success is that we are dedicated to providing
the finest eating and most appealing apples to our customers. To
that end, we have devoted our time and resources to construct a
high tech facility which is gentle to the fruit yet efficient to
operate.
We are fortunate to be located in a growing region that is world
renowned for the flavor of the fruit it produces. Working with only
the very best growers, our team of field representatives continually
search for only premium fruit.
Most of these apples are stored in a state of the art 400,000 bushel
Controlled Atmosphere Storage and pulled out only when needed. This
allows for the freshest tasting fruit to be consistently delivered
to our customers.
All of our apples are fresh packed to order, which is a different
practice from most of our competitors. By delivering the product
we do, we insure high repeat sales if the fruit is handled properly
at retail.
Our company is committed to staying at the top of our industry.
To that end, we are constantly changing and improving to meet the
needs of our clients.
