Our Story
Our “Roots”
From a young age, Alex and Morgan Richert (siblings) had the blessing to grow up spending summers working for their family’s apple and cherry orchard in Michigan.
When the family moved to Minnesota they realized there was a problem! You can’t find actual fresh fruit in the grocery stores. The Richert family brought back fresh Honeycrisp apples from the family farm to share with friends in the small-town community. The results were amazing!
Word of the fresh Honeycrisp apples spread around the area and soon we found ourselves needing to bring a whole semi-load to share with all the happy customers in a small town with a population of 1,700 people!
The Tradition Continues
Although we now have grown to bring additional varieties of fruit, our promise is the same.
Freshly Picked brings fruit directly to YOU, the consumer, keeping the cost low and ensuring peak freshness!
You can pre-order Summertime fresh Peaches and Fall fresh Apples.
