Our History
About Garrett Ranches...
The Garrett family has been growing fruit in the northwest area since 1914. With four generations of apple growers, we have perfected the process and guarantee a crisp crunchy bite of quality.
We grow a variety of tree fruit in our northwest micro climate including cherries, apricots, plums, peaches and of course, apples. 
The Treasure Valley is a high desert area surrounded by the Owyhee, Cascade and Trinity Mountains, and the Boise Front Range. The average elevation in the valley is about 2500 feet above sea level, which helps enhance apple color and firmness.
Our fruit is irrigated by snow-melt runoff from these mountains from April until October. The area is noted for its excellent apples, both in color and eating quality.
Our fruit is grown using consumer friendly techniques and organic techniques when possible. Once harvested, our apples are washed, waxed and packed on our modern packing line. All of our gift packed apples are U.S.D.A. inspected.
Gift pack apples are individually selected off the line and hand packed in their boxes.
Our storage facilities maintain a constant 33 degrees keeping the apples fresh and crisp until shipping.
