Your top questions about Stemilt & our fruits are answered
Are any of Stemilt’s fruit GMO (genetically modified organisms)?
Nope! Stemilt does not use GM (genetically modified) plant material to produce any apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines or apricots. New varieties of fruit are created through traditional cross-pollination methods which brings the best attributes of the parent varieties to create a new variety that you will love.

What does “USA/E-U.A.” on your fruit bags or stickers mean?
E-U.A. is the French translation for USA. We must translate labels into French to ship our fruits to Canada. The United States is the origin of fruits grown by Stemilt. We farm apples, pears, cherries and summer fruits in Washington and also grow cherries in California.
