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 1950’s were Wegman’s 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.
