Highland Fruit Growers was founded in the 1940s as a partnership between the Ball and Schlect families, who had been farming together since the early years. This substantial family foundation had been a cornerstone of their success. Highland Fruit Growers joined CMi Orchards in the early 2000s, allowing their fruit to be delivered to every available point globally. They specialized in growing, packaging, and shipping apples, pears, and cherries. From artful dormant pruning in the winter months to the last piece of fruit picked in the fall, Highland Fruit Growers was dedicated to providing the highest quality fruit. In 2022, Highland Fruit Growers merged with Starr Ranch and was folded into the Gilberts Orchard portfolio.
