A Summerland-based fruit company has opened a new state-of-the-art apple processing facility in Moses Lake, Washington.
On Sept. 27, Okanagan Specialty Fruits unveiled the facility. The company is the creator of the Arctic apple, a group of patented apples containing a non-browning trait.
The facility is 10,200 square metres and can process more than 22.5 million kilograms of apples every year.
Adjacent to this facility, a controlled-atmosphere storage facility is under construction, set to be completed in early 2024.
