We wanted to give everyone an update on Steve. He is at St. Vincent’s Hospital in the Cardiac ICU unit waiting to get on the list for a heart transplant. We are hopeful he will get approved and move to the top of the list next week. He is a 47-year Duckwall Fruit employee and has touched all our lives. We are in constant communication with Steve through this incredibly difficult time for Steve and his family. We sent him some activities from the gift shop on Wednesday to hopefully help distract him (a deck of cards, a novel, a word search book, etc.)
As the medical bills continue to climb, Kathy Nishimoto started the GoFundMe site: https://gofund.me/6973eef9
If you are interested in donating to Steve’s cause. If you are interested and would rather donate directly, we are accepting donations at the office in Steve’s behalf. You are welcome to drop off a donation directly, or you can mail a check made payable to Steve Ulrich to the office Attn: Sara Duckwall and we will make sure it gets deposited to his account. We are visiting periodically if you would like to send a card his way.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope you and your family have a nice Thanksgiving weekend. Duckwall Fruit is grateful for all of you!!

We would like to take a minute to share info regarding one of our long time employees, Steve Ulrich, if you have a moment and would like to help, please click on the link below:

Between the symphony of forklift beeps and engine purrs a friendly greeting is what you will receive if you encounter Steve Ulrich throughout the Plant. This 47-year Duckwall Fruit employee is family to all of us, and a person who we all love and admire. A fixture on his yellow forklift throne, Steve has blessed us with his good humor and positive attitude each and every day. Decisively the best part of Steve's job is, "the people I work with. The friends I have made here are my family now."
When not at work, Steve has been an avid gardener since high school. He enjoys his time outdoors in the Hood River wilderness, a place he has called home since 1975. Spending time with his daughter and grandchildren will also always bring a smile to Steve’s face.
Sadly, Steve needs our help. He is experiencing some grave health issues with mounting medical bills. Currently he is in the Cardiac ICU unit at St. Vincent’s hospital in Portland OR waiting for clearance to get on a heart transplant list. We will be forever grateful for your help!

Governor Kate Brown is currently in Vietnam attend

Governor Kate Brown is currently in Vietnam attending the Vietnam-U.S. Trade Forum 2022

“From semiconductors to the apparel industry to wheat and produce, Vietnam is a critical trading partner for Oregon,” said Governor Brown. “As Vietnam’s economy continues to grow, it’s important for us to maintain our cooperation around trade and investment, educational exchanges, and economic development.”

Our customer @dragonberry produce made sure our Hood River pears were showcased.

While Vietnam is not yet a prime pear export destination, we are putting effort into teaching customers about pear benefits and how the category can grow their produce department.

Pausing for a moment, we look back and admire the tools we had to conduct business.

Now… beautiful pieces of art that are still treasured in our office today.

In his book titled Fruit Crate Art by Joe Davidson

In his book titled Fruit Crate Art by Joe Davidson, he states

“There is no doubt that fruit crate labels now maintain an important position not only in the world of ephemera collectors, dealers and decorators, but also in museums and universities hoping to record and document one of our most important periods in American history through these artworks.”

Duckwall Fruit is part of this history, noted on page 71 of Davidson’s book and memorialized on our conference room wall.

Enjoy the artwork today!
