It’s no secret apples are an exceptionally healthy fruit. After all, we’ve all heard the expression, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ Dozens of different varieties of apples are grown and harvested in the Okanagan each year by growers of BC Tree Fruits Cooperative. The local growers produce the fruit from their own orchards and farms and BC Tree Fruits promotes, packages and transports the apples to customers.
Here are some quick tips on how to incorporate different varieties of B.C. grown apples into your diet.
With over 430 grower families in the cooperative, BC Tree Fruits continues to take steps forward, including adding state-of-the-art packing and storage equipment, replanting orchards with newer varieties and introducing improved growing and packing processes. For more information visit bctree.com.
