Stemilt recently wrapped up harvest on its Pink Lady brand apples in Wenatchee, Washington. Growing conditions have allowed for the company to conclude the harvest early in comparison to previous years. Brianna Shales, Communications Manager, tells AndNowUKnow, "Getting the fruit off the tree early before the first cold snap arrives, is ideal. This year’s crop is exceptional…ideal fruit finish, vibrant color, and a truly premium flavor profile. Consumers are going to be extremely happy with the quality of Pink Lady apples this year.” Stemilt will be shipping just in time for the holidays with eye-catching pop-up display bins centered on the variety. The company also offers consumers a free ideas guide for Pink Lady apples, which includes ideas for cooking, snacking, and enjoying the popular variety. <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Clear Springs Farms is preparing to launch into its latest strawberry season.
