Cascade Crest Organics is a subsidiary company of Stennes Orchards, Inc.

We are producers of premium certified organic fruit from the foothills of the Cascade Mountain range in Washington State. The Stennes family has been growing fruit in the healthy soils, clean air and pure water in the Methow and Okanogan valleys since 1894.

Britanus Stennes, a Norwegian immigrant, settled in Washington State in 1894 after a demanding journey on ship, wagon and horseback. He homesteaded 160 acres of fertile soil in the flat river bottoms and steep mountainsides of the Methow Valley with the Methow River flowing through the land. Soon after settling, Britanus planted apple trees on his land, beginning a multi-generational family fruit business. Britanus expanded and operated the orchard until the mid-1930’s, when his oldest son Kermit assumed the responsibilities of the growing orchard company. Kermit’s son, Keith, began managing the company in 1968 and has been responsible for the major growth of the family company, including the purchases of numerous additional orchards. Currently, Keith is expanding and diversifying Stennes Orchards, Inc. with his twin sons, Mark and Kevin, who are the 4th generation working on the family homestead. Keith, Mark and Kevin are currently expanding the company into packing and marketing their organic fruit with the Cascade Crest Organics label.
