Peshastin Valley Emerges as a Leading Fruit Region
The Peshastin valley near Wenatchee grows into a major fruit area due to Icicle Canal irrigation. It supports apples peaches pears prunes and apricots with reliable water from Peshastin creek and two large water companies. Lumbering and dairying bolster the economy, and cooperative marketing through the Peshastin Fruit Growers Association aids storage and expansion including plans for a dehydrating plant.
