Job Title: Maintenance Supervisor

About Pine Canyon Growers:

Pine Canyon Growers is located in Orondo, Washington and was established in 2016. Pine Canyon Growers was created by a group of five high energy, quality growers with a passion for growing Apples, Pears, and Cherries. As business became more and more difficult, they decided the best path to staying viable was to purchase their own packing hours. After leasing the current packing house for several years with Western Traders’ export sales company, the opportunity arose to purchase the facility and they jumped on it, thus creating Pine Canyon Growers LLC.

After a few years Pine Canyon Growers decided they needed some domestic help and forged a great relationship with CMI. CMI is now the sole domestic marketing arm for Pine Canyon while Western Traders still exist to maintain the Big Horn and Bison labels in export markets around the world.

As a company we are focused on partnering with our growers, clients, and employees to be an industry leading fruit packaging facility. Our mission is to operate a cost-effective facility and in return provide maximum returns to our growers. We will work with our growers, vendors, and employees to achieve the highest forms of food safety and top-grade quality produce to ship worldwide.

Pine Canyon Growers is dedicated to being a company that fosters integrity, respect and innovation with our employees, customers, growers, and vendors. Our team will grant us all financial success.
