Quality is Our Priority!
Delta is proud to be dedicated to delivering the highest standards in quality and freshness every step of the way.
Starting in the Field
Delta Packing has developed lasting relationships with some of the finest cherry growers throughout the state. Each season we are progressing along with our growers to ensure the best practices and procedures are being used, and that the cherry growers have what they need to do the right job. To guarantee freshness and high quality to our customers, keeping the cherries cool once harvested is essential. At the time of harvest, the cherries are hand picked and then quickly brought to a cool 45 degrees with our hydro-coolers which are on site of the harvest.
Our Packing Facility
Once cherries arrive at Delta Packing, the cold chain is never broken. Packing a quality box of cherries for our customers is our #1 goal. With that, we are continually upgrading and updating our packing line and technology being used. Whether it is our innovative hydro-cooling system, maximization of sorting capacity, or the newest packaging styles, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our line. In the end, it is the quality that stands out the most to our customers and allows us to continue a successful operation.
Fresh Quality Always Shipped
Because cherries are a perishable commodity, we must take every precaution to keep the cherry cold and fresh. Once the cherries have been packed, they are then shipped all across the world without breaking that cold temperature. Along with the importance of the cold chain, the time it takes from harvest to shipment is just as imperative. To further ensure the freshest cherry possible reaches the end consumer, our cherries are shipped with in 1 day of harvest.
