Organic apple importer differentiates by importing as well as growing in-country
The southern hemisphere apple season has started and last week, Viva Tierra received its first shipment of organic apples from Chile and Argentina in the port of Philadelphia. This shipment contained Gala, Granny Smith and Red Delicious varieties, which are always the first ones to come in.
“With the season ramping up, Fuji and Cripps Pink are already harvesting as we pack our last of these varieties from Washington, so we always have a full offering of the core flavors,” says Chris Ford, Business Development and Marketing Manager with Viva Tierra Organic. With Washington’s overall organic apple supply falling short this season, the company is looking forward to a strong import season.
