Superfresh Growers has apple orchards stretching from Hood River in Northern Oregon all the way to Washington State’s border with Canada.

The Washington State Tree Fruit Association is forecasting a record-matching 2025 Washington fresh apple crop of 142-million 40-pound boxes, with Cosmic Crisp breaking into the top five varietals.

Whether the entire crop will be harvested, however, is unknown, with growers pointing to the possibility of labor shortages and market conditions driving the number down, according to the WSTFA.

Stemilt Growers, Wenatchee, WA, continues to evolve its apple variety mix to ensure it is growing varieties that consumers seek.

Washington’s abundance of leading apple varieties allows retailers to maintain strong promotions throughout the year, with back-to-school, fall and holiday-themed programs kicking off opportunities to generate sales.

For the first time the Australian-bred Soluna apple variety will be available to U.S. consumers, bringing a new level of quality, taste and innovation to American shelves.

Using a “be everywhere” approach, officials at Yes! Apples are doing all they can to build consumer awareness of apples and New York state apples, in particular.
