Stemilt

Giving you, our customer, the ultimate fresh and flavorful eating experience is what makes us tick. And to do that, we cultivated a team of great people who work hard to ensure you have a delightful experience every. single. time. you bite into a piece of Stemilt fruit.

Our company roots and founding father, Tom Mathison, led us down the path of growing flavor-first fruit, but today it’s the fourth and fifth generations that drive that promise into the future.

Our president, West Mathison, is a 5th generation grower who works alongside his father Kyle and brother Tate to create a culture of pride across our teams. Whether we are nurturing blossoms into buds and fruitlets or picking out the perfect piece of fruit to make up the box heading to your store, we’re striving for the best because that’s what you and your family deserve to enjoy.

West Mathison took the leading role at Stemilt in 2005. He’s been busy ever since, bringing new technologies into facilities, introducing new brands and signature fruits into our mix, and focusing on a bright future for Stemilt team members by nurturing wellness and community.

We care about tomorrow, and believe the brightest future comes when we nurture greatness from farm to family.

Responsible Choice® is Stemilt’s sustainability and social responsibility program that launched way back in 1989. The early years of Responsible Choice® focused on environmental initiatives like farming organically and introducing integrated pest management practices to orchards. Today, we make the Responsible Choice® by nurturing. We want our team members and their families to live happy and healthy lives, and enjoy the communities where they live, work, and play. So that’s what we center our efforts around.
