Our Story
Our "Roots"
From a young age, Alex Richert had the blessing to grow up on his family’s apple orchard in Michigan.
​
When his family moved to Minnesota they realized there was a problem! You can't find actual fresh fruit in the grocery stores. That first fall his 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 College Days
Year after year, Alex's family kept bringing fresh apples in the Fall to their Minnesota town. In 2012, the family moved back to Michigan as Alex began college in North Dakota.
​
The tradition continued as Alex expanded into multiple towns across northwest Minnesota and the state of North Dakota during college.
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!
