Did You Know?
Washington apple growers who pack Markon First Crop are the largest and most sophisticated in
the industry, with the most rigorous quality control standards. Their electronic sorting machines
guarantee consistent size and grade in every box. Washington apples are 'put to sleep' during
storage season using a process called Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Storage. The fruit is placed in
large, airtight refrigerated rooms where temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and humidity are
carefully controlled. This storage method slows respiration, which in turn slows ripening, so the
apples stay firm and crisp for months. Washington's harvest begins as follows (depending on
weather conditions): Gala and Golden Delicious - Mid-August; Red Delicious, Granny Smith, and
Fuji - Early September; Braeburn - October. California apple shipments typically begin in January
and continue until supplies are exhausted.
