Fruit Patch adheres the basic research findings and common sense in taking fruit from the field to the box. Simplicity is the key to the gentlest, fastest, safest methods for protecting the intrinsic quality of the fruit in the packing process.
Fruit Patch employs short, straight pack lines to avoid turns and minimize drops. This in turn minimizes scuffing and bruising. Four identical lines enable Fruit Patch to pack white peaches, yellow peaches, nectarines, and plums simultaneously to get your truck out on time with your desired mix.
