Highland Harvest Orchards, L.L.C.

Highland Harvest Orchards, L.L.C., a limited liability partnership based in Wenatchee, Washington, is a federal grant recipient operating in agricultural production and food supply chain resilience, with all three awards held as prime recipient rather than subcontractor or contractor role.

Highland Harvest Orchards has received three federal grants across three distinct USDA offices since 2022, totaling $853 thousand in obligated dollars. The grant portfolio spans labor-standards implementation, pandemic-relief cost recovery, and energy-efficiency improvement. A Rural Business Cooperative Services grant awarded September 18, 2024, for Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Energy Efficiency Improvement carries an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2026. A Farm Service Agency Washington Office grant awarded July 15, 2024, supports implementation of robust labor standards to address agricultural employer labor shortages and promote safe working conditions for both U.S. workers and seasonal H-2A visa program workers, running through July 14, 2027. An Agricultural Marketing Service grant awarded January 3, 2022, provided pandemic-relief funding for costs incurred between the declared public health emergency on January 27, 2020, and December 31, 2021, covering workplace safety, facility retrofitting, transportation, worker housing, and medical expenses for food producers; that grant completed January 2, 2023. Two of the three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete or renewal opportunity.

Customer agency concentration is distributed across three USDA offices—Farm Service Agency, Rural Business Cooperative Services, and Agricultural Marketing Service—with one award per office. Highland Harvest Orchards does not hold contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles; federal engagement is limited to project grant awards in the agricultural sector.
