Gratitude grows at Chelan Ranch and is at the heart of everything we do. As the seasons change and we put the orchards to bed for the winter, we take this time to reflect on the abundance surrounding us. From the fruits we grow to the connections we build with our team and community, we are deeply thankful for this year’s blessings.

Grateful for Nature’s Bounty

We are grateful for the geography of our ranch in the highlands of Lake Chelan, as well as our climate and our industry history in the surrounding land. The temperature variation from a semi-arid climate with hot, sunny days and cool nights is ideal for growing apples, cherries and blueberries. Our higher elevation canyons are perfect for growing delicious Honeycrisps and Sweetangos with a crisp texture and balanced sweetness and acidity.

Grateful for Our Team

Behind every fresh organic apple and bag of freeze-dried fruit is a dedicated team that works tirelessly to make it all happen. From those who carefully tend the trees in the fields to the staff managing our local sales and farmstand to the online store and customer orders, their hard work makes Chelan Ranch what it is. We are grateful to the talent and harmonious team we have that makes our daily work a fun place to be.

We also owe a special thanks to our H-2A workers, who leave their homes to help us bring in the harvest. Their skill, commitment, and energy are indispensable, and we are so grateful to have them as part of our extended farm family.

Grateful for Our Community

To our customers, visitors, and supporters, thank you for choosing Chelan Ranch. Whether you visited our farm stand, booked a wedding at our venue, or ordered our fruit online, your support means everything.

Because of you, we can continue our sustainable farming mission and share the story of organic produce grown in the heart of Washington. Every purchase, every kind word, and every recommendation reminds us why we do what we do.

A Time to Celebrate

Thanksgiving is a time to gather, reflect, and celebrate the year’s blessings. At Chelan Ranch, our holiday table will feature dishes inspired by the fruits of our labor—perhaps a warm apple pie or a simple blueberry cobbler shared with loved ones.

Food brings people together, and we are grateful to play a small part in creating those moments for families near and far.

Thank You
