Summit Procurement was established in July, 1993 in Yakima, Washington by Jim and Sue McCorkindale. Initially the company was started to procure fruits and vegetables for Jim's domestic customers. In 1995 a second service was added to the business, an outside fruit and produce inspection service. A third service was started in 2001 with the addition of a processor sales department.
Summit Procurement buys, sells, and inspects basically everything grown in the Pacific Northwest. We sell apples, pears, cherries, prunes, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, as well as asparagus, rhubarb, potatoes and onions. Summit actively works with over 100 shippers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. We know our products and the people who pack them. We service all areas of the U.S. and Canada with orders ranging from partial truck loads to full loads and railcars.
