Accounting:
The Sage Fruit accounting team is unique to the fruit industry. Our team handles both accounts payable and receivable, as well as all grower accounting.
Field & Horticulture:
Sage Fruit has ten horticultural specialists who work with growers in the field. Their job is to ensure our fruit is grown to the highest standards, and harvested at the peak of freshness.
Food Safety:
Each of our warehouses has a dedicated Food Safety team that is responsible for all of the certifications necessary to operate.
IT:
The IT department at Sage Fruit Company is instrumental in the everyday operations at both the sales office and the warehouses.
Logistics:
The Sage Fruit office recently established a logistics department which is responsible for scheduling loading appointments, as well as meeting customer needs in freight delivery. In addition, each warehouse has their own logistics department that is responsible for the shipping of all product.
Quality Control:
Our quality assurance program begins in the field and continues through customer delivery. Once the fruit arrives, our quality control personnel inspects the fruit prior to packing, during packing and just before shipping to make certain only the very best makes it to the fresh market.
Packing:
We have four apple packing facilities, as well as a state of the art cherry packing plant. We are considered one of the premier grower/shipper operations in WA, and are known most for high quality and a high level of service.
Production:
Each season, from bloom to harvest, we spend countless hours in the field determining what will be available for customers in the upcoming season. This diligence allows us to accurately predict sizing and grade availability, as well as pricing trends. Our production department determines what to pack and when to pack it.
Sales & Marketing:
Our Sales and Marketing team consists of six Sales Representatives, five Regional Marketers, and one Social Media Director, to serve our customers. Our team of Sales Representatives is located in Yakima, WA and is available to meet customer needs daily. The Regional staff is in place to ensure our customers’ needs are met as fruit arrives, and to assist in running promotions.
