September
Fruit.
Many of our apple varieties were harvested some time ago, while others are now on their third or fourth picking round. And some don’t take centre stage until September. Orchard by orchard, tree by tree and apple by apple – this is how we gather the fruits of our work year.
Crate by crate, they are transported to the cooperative, where they are stored. The season also starts for the sorting line. A productive year gets the green light. It selects the apples according to size, weight and quality. In the process, they are cleaned, measured, weighed and scanned. And sorted, of course. In the packing room, each apple is carefully inspected again before it lands in the packaging with its colleagues. Apple by apple, crate by crate. Grouped onto pallets and loaded into refrigerator lorries. Fresh fruit section, here we come!
