Our cooperative’s orchardists grow over 12 fresh, premium apple varieties that make up 80% of our total production.

When you bite into an apple with the BC Tree Fruits leaf, you can rest assured that your tastebuds are experiencing the highest quality of apple, grown and produced locally.

  • A plate of apple slices on the kitchen counter will help absorb cooking odours.
