The Wawona Way

Not only is Wawona’s fresh frozen fruit tastier than canned fruit, the nutritious benefit is locked in during the individual quick freezing process. In addition, Wawona is dedicated to sustainable growing practices both in its estate orchards as well as with long-time growers. Wawona’s three production facilities are state-of-the-art incorporating the latest technologies and innovations with strong emphasis on both food and employee safety.
