en.Wedoany.com Reported - Legendary Fruit Company has signed a letter of intent with Brewster Heights Packing & Orchards (BHPO) to acquire substantially all of its assets through a court-supervised sale process. BHPO operates under the name Gebbers Farms.

Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company will own over 15,000 acres of land and secure exclusive production and packing rights for SugarBee®, Rockit™, Lucy Rose™, and Lucy Glo™ apples. The combined operations will produce approximately 12 million boxes of apples and 4.5 million boxes of cherries annually, enhancing Legendary Fruit's scale to become one of the industry's leading producers and strengthening its premium fruit product line.

Steve Clement, CEO of Legendary Fruit Company, stated that Gebbers Farms has a strong reputation in the apple, pear, and cherry sectors of northern Washington, and the two teams have known and collaborated with each other for many years. This agreement will enhance the company's ability to bring consumer-favorite apple and cherry varieties to market, including SugarBee® apples. Leveraging its partnerships in the north, Legendary Fruit will continue to build strong ties with growers, retailers, packing partners, and communities. Clement also noted that fruit packed by BHPO will continue to supply Chelan Fresh, while CMI Orchards will remain a key strategic marketing partner for Legendary Fruit Company, marketing all fruit from existing operations (excluding the Gebbers acquisition), with current programs and customer relationships remaining unchanged.

Legendary Fruit Company is committed to delivering premium fruit products by focusing on freshness, consistency, and innovation. The company operates in Wapato and Chelan, Washington, collaborating with growers and customers across the agricultural supply chain to provide high-quality produce and fruit solutions while adhering to operational excellence and responsible business practices.
