Playing a Vital Role in the Apple Industry

By John T. Ryan

The Forrence Orchards packing and distribution staff is #26 in our Peru Gazette series featuring people who make Peru a wonderful place to live. These are the people who inspect, pack, sell and ship approximately 500,000 bushels of Forrence’s beautiful apples each year. At 40 pounds a bushel, that’s 20 million pounds or about 1,000 tractor-trailer loads of apples leaving our community thanks to the hard work and dedication of these people.
