A Culture Of Excellence
Family-owned and operated, Monson Fruit is recognized as one of Washington state's leading packers, growers, and shippers of fresh fruit. Established over 25 years ago, the company is dedicated to ensuring both global and domestic deliveries of only the highest quality of products throughout the year.
The Monson legacy as a leader in agriculture production in the Yakima Valley began in the 1950s when Van Monson identified the value of the region's fertile ground and ideal climate for starting his cattle and farming business. Throughout the decades, the family continued to expand its operations and diversify its activities within the agriculture sector to ultimately include fruit growing, packing, and shipping.
