We're the Horsley twins, Josh and Matt (left to right in above photo). Our Grandpa, Garretson Horsley, found his way into farming Horsley Orchards in 1951 when he purchased land in the Lower Yakima Valley. His son and our father,  Loren Horsley, started helping out on the orchard when he was 10 years old and has only taken a few short breaks from the occupation to earn a degree in Horticulture and get married to our mother, Laurie. In 1976 he was back to full time farming when he took over the family orchard.

Pops learned from experience that young boys are capable of lending a helping hand now and then on the orchard and got us, his twin boys, out learning at age 10. What started as just digging dirt turned into driving tractors and forklifts, pruning and picking, checking irrigation and doing numerous odd jobs around the farm. Before we knew it we were teenage boys and had become farmers ourselves.

After being away from the orchard to attain degrees from Eastern Washington University we started a new family business called Follow the Harvest where we get to be a direct link between the farmer and the buyer.  We want to give you the opportunity to enjoy local Washington fruit by delivering from a number of small farms in the Lower Yakima Valley including Horsley Orchards straight to you within a day or two of being picked off the tree!
