Sunrise Fresh Dried Fruit company was started in 2003 in Linden CA. We are a 4th generation farming family in the fertile San ... Joaquin Valley of California. Our family has grown fresh sweet cherries in Linden, California for over 60 years. The idea of drying our fresh cherries began on the ranch of 2nd generation farmer Ernie Podesta, Jane's father, (now owner of Sunrise Fresh LLC), who always advocated for value added products to his crops. He achieved this desire through a lifetime commitment in the maraschino cherry industry and in the 1980's built a maraschino processing facility. Ernie never stopped working on other avenues to promote California Cherries. That same pride and tradition continues through Jane and Jim Samuel and there three sons. In 2011 the 4th Generation, Jacob, Zachary, Case, entered into the business to continue the family tradition through farming and processing of All Natural, Dried Dark Sweet Cherries. Sunrise Fresh LLC is a small business, woman-owned company that takes pride in supplying year-round Dried Dark Sweet Cherries with NO ADDED SUGAR and NO PRESERVATIVES. Just a dried cherry, nothing else! read more
