Stemilt is a Native American word for "foothills". It is also a region of agriculture land located near the Cascade Mountains and city of Wenatchee, Washington.
Stemilt's company roots trace back to 1893, when the first generation of Mathisons homesteaded 160 acres on Stemilt Hill overlooking the Columbia River and town of Wenatchee, ashington. By 1914, Thomas Cyle Mathison began planting apple, pear and cherry orchards in the fertile soils of Stemilt Hill, where high-elevation microclimates offered ideal growing conditions for tree fruits.
The Mathison's fruit business grew slow and steady, and like other farms ran into tough times. Despite the challenges, Tom forged ahead and by 1961 had constructed the family's first packinghouse located on Stemilt Hill. In 1964, Tom established the family's first controlled atmosphere storage room and formally incorporated Stemilt Growers.
Expansion continued and by 1975 the Mathison's built a state-of-the-art apple, pear, and cherry packing storage facility at Olds Station in Wenatchee. Tom moved the company headquarters from Stemilt Hill to the new location, making Olds Station the hub of Stemilt's operations.
In 2005, Tom passed on the company presidency to his grandson, West Mathison. Possessing the same drive and determination as his grandfather, West continues to take steps to make Stemilt a stronger business entity and live out its mission - maximize long-term return to the land by building consumer demand.
