Whitestone Mountain Orchard is a family-run farm built on three generations of hard work and dedication to sustainable farming. Founded in 1993 by Ted Lichtenfels, who envisioned a small-scale farm thriving amidst corporate agribusiness, the orchard is now managed by his daughter Claire and her husband Hal, alongside their children and extended family. Located in Tonasket, WA, the farm not only focuses on producing high-quality fruit but also fosters a strong community, providing jobs and support for local families. With a commitment to land stewardship and sustainability, Whitestone Mountain Orchard continues to strengthen the regional food system for future generations.

At Whitestone Mountain Orchard, our commitment to regenerative agriculture and organic farming practices drives everything we do. We believe that viable, local farms feed local communities, and that affordable, organic produce supports healthy lives. By prioritizing biodiversity and reducing waste, we create a flourishing ecosystem and ensure that all of our fruit is used. Our certified organic apples, pears, and currants are grown with care, picked at peak ripeness, and delivered fresh to you, reflecting our dedication to a sustainable and just food system.
