Rowley & Hawkins Fruit Farms

Fruit is in our blood and growing it has come natural to us for over 6 generations, dating back all the way to the 1800s in England. Each generation has faced different challenges, but as technology has improved we have been able to adapt and improve our methods. We have definitely proven that a “family who works together, stays together.” Knowledge and experience that has been passed down from one generation to the next helps us provide better products for our customers. In 1981, our family left a successful family farm in Payson, Utah to pioneer the tart cherry industry in Washington State.

We currently operate 800 acres, centered in Basin City, Washington. As Rowley & Hawkins Fruit Farms grew, our cherry processing line, Northwest Tart Cherry, was developed in 1984 to fulfill our tart cherry processing needs. Rowley & Hawkins started selling our fruit locally at road-side stands and farmers markets throughout southeastern Washington. We have expanded with the Tasteatreat label and the FreshPicksWa brand.

Although our fruit is not certified organic, we are GAP certified and we do everything we can to grow safe healthy food, while protecting our land and the environment. As farmers, we care deeply about and care for the health of the soil so the we can have healthy trees.
