Peshastin Fruit Growers Association’s Growth in Valley Prosperity
The Peshastin Fruit Growers Association, formed in 1912 with 21 members, has grown from shipping 80 carloads of apples in its first year to about 500 carloads in the current year. Under manager J A Warman the cooperative evolved into a stock company, expanded warehouses, centralized packing, and now handles roughly 270 000 to 300 000 packed boxes valued at 675 000 to 750 000, with about 73 stockholders controlling 1200 acres and strong market demand for Jonathan, Delicious and Rome Beauty.
