From a lovely ladybug to peanut butter toast, Stemilters took to the Wenatchee loop trail this weekend for the annual YMCA of the USA Monster Dash Fun Run! We love supporting this race and seeing the families of Wenatchee valley get their monster groove on! Priscilla Nunez Jenilee Vega Vianney Teran Melissa Gonzalez

With Halloween creeping up, we asked Jenilee Vega what her favorite spooky tradition is! Here’s what she had to say🎃:

Our founding family, the Mathisons, can attest that working with the ones you love adds something special to your daily job.❤️ Similarly, Neryem Flores generational story at Stemilt begins with her mom and Aunt in the 1980s. They paved the way for her to come to Stemilt in 2015 and today, she is our Export Sales Specialist.

One thing you should know about growing fruit, is it takes time, someone to take good care of it and a little bit of elbow grease. It’s this kind of care Diane Parker has shown at Stemilt over the past 43 years of her career. From meeting her husband on the packing line in the 1980s, to being our President’s Executive Assistant today, she’s the all knowing Stemilter we turn to in a pinch!🍎 Watch the video below to hear Diane Parker story! #WorldFamousFamilies #Stemilt60YearAnniversary #WorldFamousFruitxWorldFamousFamilies
