In the summer of 1982 Jim Trees purchased over 2,000 acres of unimproved land along the East Fork of the Virgin River. As a conservationist, Mr. Trees envisioned a working community, minimal in development, to support an organic produce farm.

Leaving the majority of land untouched, Jim began planning an environmentally-conscience approach to organic farming. The result is an ecologically-rich working ranch; reflective of the lands history, the early settlers, and environmental conditions. Thus the Springdale Fruit Company, at Trees Ranch was born.

Almost a utopian place, the Springdale Fruit Company offers hope for the future. As a model ranch, fonded upon the prospect of a natural, beautiful, and simplicity, the Springdale Fruit Company strives to be self-sustaining.

Today, Springdale Fruit Company thrives as an organic grower of tree-ripened fruit and vine-ready produce, and operates a complimentary retail market.

The company is now a long-standing beacon for some of the world’s best organic, tree-ripened produce. During peak production in 1990’s, companies like Gerber used apples from Springdale Fruit Company for their line of organic baby foods.
