In 1934, excited by the burgeoning worldwide demand for fresh produce, Paul Thomas and his family formed Oneonta Trading Corporation in Wenatchee, and became the FIRST EXPORTER of Washington apples. Through strategic expansion and acquisitions beginning in the early fifties, Oneonta became an award-winning leader in Washington’s growing, packing and shipping industries. As the culmination of a 70-year reputation for offering exceptional quality, service and innovation, Oneonta is excited to present Starr Ranch Growers.
