Growing, packing and delivering the finest organic tree fruits is the foundation of the Dovex mission. We don't do organic as an appendage to our conventional core; rather it is our very essence, the reflection of our values as individuals and as a company.
Dovex is nestled in the heart of the premier Washington State Apple and Pear growing region - at the foot of the Cascade Mountain Range and along the banks of the mighty Columbia River. Here, the long, arid summer, cool autumn nights, rich volcanic soil and plentiful water supply are teamed with advanced horticultural practices and state of the art packing procedures to produce the most flavorful apples and pears in the WORLD!
Dovex was established by the DeNadai family in 1982 in response to overseas demand for a year round supply of apples. Dovex supplied produce to these markets when others were "out of season". The DeNadai family has developed fruit operations worldwide for over three generations. Dovex has grown from a modest 250,000 cartons in 1982 to over 6 million cartons of apples, pears, organics, cherries, and stone fruits in the current season.
Stemilt Growers' market share of the Northwest tree fruit market grows with its acquisition of Dovex Fruit Co.
The deal, announced March 3, gives Stemilt and its growing partners more than 17,000 acres of apples, pears, cherries and stone fruit to market - a 25% increase in acreage.The De Nadai family, which owned Dovex, retains ownership of Dovex Orchard Co.'s 3,300 acres of mostly apples and is now a grower for Stemilt.
