About Us

Okanogan Producers Marketing Association (OPMA) is a cooperative of six small family farms working together in the Okanogan Valley in North Central Washington State. Our six farms include Apple Cart Fruit, Bunny Laine Fruit, Filaree Fruit, Grandpa’s Homeplace, M & A Orchards, and Whitestone Mountain Orchard.

OPMA Farms grow and market Washington State Department of Agriculture Certified Organic.

Established in 2006, OPMA has since built strong connections with our valued customers, earning a well-deserved reputation for delivering exceptional fruit quality, outstanding customer service, and reliable shipments. The naturally warm and sunny climate in the Okanogan creates an ideal environment for producing the highest quality fruit globally!

Our emphasis lies in crop diversification to create habitats for wildlife, safeguard biodiversity, and fortify climate resilience. This commitment translates into OPMA boasting a broad and diverse range of products. Consider our 2.5-acre plot with over 25 heirloom varieties and another farm cultivating 57 different varieties, encompassing 14 types of apples, all within an 11-acre space.
