“Your fruit can’t come out of CA better than when you put it in, but with these watchful eyes and careful control, the fruit will come out of long term storage in the best shape possible”  - Jim Schaefer

Fresh, Snap, Crunch: adjectives mentioned as consumers sample the fruit exiting your CA storage complex after 8 – 12 months of controlled atmosphere storage.   These comments are guaranteed when using the Schaefer group of companies to provide a well-insulated, bubble-tight storage envelope. “Green” secondary cooling method, accurate atmosphere generation for CA, and the ultimate energy management tools insure the lowest possible kilowatt usage per bushel of fruit stored, resulting in not only your highest quality fruit, but with the greatest efficiency. trio Certified: it just makes sense.
