Welcome to Dovex

Dovex is nestled in the heart of the premier Washington State Apple and Pear growing region - at the foot of the Cascade Mountain Range and along the banks of the mighty Columbia River. Here, the long, arid summer, cool autumn nights, rich volcanic soil and plentiful water supply are teamed with advanced horticultural practices and state of the art packing procedures to produce the most flavorful apples and pears in the WORLD!

Dovex was established by the DeNadai family in 1982 in response to overseas demand for a year round supply of apples. Dovex supplied produce to these markets when others were "out of season". The DeNadai family has developed fruit operations worldwide for over three generations. Dovex has grown from a modest 250,000 cartons in 1982 to over 6 million cartons of apples, pears, organics, cherries, and stone fruits in the current season.

Dovex strives to ensure premium product quality by maintaining a staff of professionals that are closely involved in the growth, selection, packing, storage and shipment of Dovex products. The majority of Dovex fruit is company owned or managed. The balance of our volume is contracted with some of the best growers in the industry. We take pride in having the most experienced field staff in the business - 100% of our horticultural practices are directed by Dovex field staff personnel - from bloom to harvest.
