Stemilt’s Artisan Organics peach and nectarine crops are available in two new packs.

“Retailers should waste no time getting organic summer fruit into their produce departments,” Brianna Shales, senior marketing manager, said in a news release.

The crop will be a little lighter at the start of the season, but volumes should pick up by the end of July.

Lil Snappers Artisan Organics are sold in 2-pound durable bags which are made from paper. Each holds up to four or five pieces of fruit.

“Retailers will love this package because it reduces handling throughout the supply chain,” Shales said in the release.

Top Pick, another Stemilt Growers program, will be sold in vibrant-colored boxes.

“Top Pick features ‘the most incredible fruit ever,’” Shales said in the release. “Our teams are very experienced, so they pick the fruit at just the right ripeness that maximizes flavors and sugars.”
