FirstFruits Marketing is announcing that Broetje Orchard’s Opal apples will
be available through May. Regarded as “Washington’s New Apple Gem” for its
bright color, the Opal is also known for its crunch and sweet flavor. The Opal is
a hybrid of the Golden Delicious and Topaz apple, a unique combination that
is quickly growing in popularity with consumers and media alike. Andy Tudor,
marketing director for FirstFruits Marketing, stated that “Retailers reported strong
consumer interest—and sales that helped lift the whole category. We are once
again proud to work with a quality-driven grower like Ralph Broetje to bring this
variety to more markets than ever before.”

retailers, including Whole Foods, for its incredible quality and sustainability.
EARTH’s organic bananas and pineapples are some of retailers’ most popular
items, and that number is sure to continue growing.
