What Orchard View Farms Inc does

Orchard View Farms Inc (legal entity Orchard View Inc., dba Orchard View Cherries) is a fourth-generation, family-owned agricultural operation headquartered at 4055 Skyline Road, The Dalles, Oregon 97058. Founded in 1923 by Walter and Mabel Bailey, the company grows premium sweet cherries across 3,300 acres of orchards spanning multiple counties in Oregon and Washington. Its core technology is a vertically integrated farming and cold-storage packing operation, including a fresh cherry packing line (converted from an apple packing facility in the mid-1990s) that processes more than 10,000 tons of cherries per year during an 8-week harvest window from early June through early August.

Since 2015, the company has extended its packing house utilization by sourcing Italian prunes and Empress plums from Milton-Freewater growers, marketed under the Blue Goose sub-brand and sold through grocery retailers from mid-August through September. The company sells fresh cherries, plums, and prunes on a wholesale basis to grocery retailers and distributors, primarily across the Pacific Northwest, with pricing negotiated through direct sales contacts. It operates a dedicated Sales & Marketing team (Jon Bailey, Larry Hanson) and is governed by a board that combines Bailey family descendants with outside members.

The business is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external institutional ownership. Current fourth-generation leadership includes Brenda Thomas (President and Chairman of the Board), David Ortega (Director of Packing Operations), Brian Wineland (Director of Finance), and Mike Omeg (Director of Operations). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the firm does not maintain an app, API surface, or meaningful digital product channel, and its marketing presence is limited to a Squarespace website and Facebook feed.
