Truck Driver About Pine Canyon Growers:

Pine Canyon Growers is located in Orondo, Washington and was established in 2016. Pine Canyon Growers was created by a group of five high energy, quality growers with a passion for growing Apples, Pears and Cherries. As business became more and more difficult, they decided the best path to staying viable was to purchase their own packing hours. After leasing the current packing house for several years with Western Traders' export sales company, the opportunity arose to purchase the facility and they jumped on it, thus creating Pine Canyon Growers LLC. As a company we are focused on partnering with our growers, clients, and employees to be an industry leading fruit packaging facility. Our mission is to operate a cost-effective facility and in return provide maximum returns to our growers.
