We believe apple growers need to be paid for producing quality and flavor... not just color. Our unique packing and accounting system is designed to achieve this. Each growers apples are packed individually on our direct pack lines. Each box is labeled with the grower's own bar code and tracked from packing through shipment using scanners.
As boxes are sold and shipped, the selling price for each box is credited to an individual growers own account... not put into a "pool average." Growers who produce better apples are rewarded for that quality.
We believe this is an excellent system for growers who produce high quality apples. Please contact Northern's field staff for more information.
