WENATCHEE, WA - Roger Pepperl, Marketing Director for Stemilt Growers, took the time to update us on how Stemilt operations are going and what kind of, if any, effects the fire has had.
As we previously reported, the company is remaining resilient and it's business as usual, with thoughts and prayers to those that have lost their homes and belongings.
When it comes to cherries, however, it appears to be good news.
“[The fires] have been in certain locations, not where the cherries are,” Roger tells us, adding that dark cherries are continuing to come in strong and that the company’s lines are still going.
Listen to our full interview with Roger in the video above to hear how Stemilt is moving forward with its promising cherry season despite the damages the area has sustained.
