According to Stemilt, for the 2023 crop, Goose Ridge will bring 860 acres of apples and around 50,000 bins to Douglas Fruit, which will pack and market the apples under the Stemilt brand.
According to the company, the roadmap features a new goal, reviewed by the Science Based Targets Initiative, to cut emissions in half (or approximately 15 million tonnes) by 2030.
The plant will operate under federal inspection and have the capacity to process up to 1,600 head of cattle per day, bringing 400 new jobs to Williamson County.
