Our Experience
We Grow
Currently, Klein’s Kill Fruit Farms owns 600 acres of land in the Hudson Valley. We farm approximately 400 acres of apples and 60 acres of stone fruit primarily peaches. In addition, we contract quality fruit from other growers throughout New York State.
We Pack
All our fruit is packaged and stored on the main farm where our packing house and cold storages are located. Our packing lines are equipped and are tailored to customer’s specific orders and needs. We offer the following packaging styles: tray pack, poly bags (3lb, 5lb, 8lb, or 10lb bags), pouch bags, tote bags, or Euro trays. When requested, loose fruit is available in bins, and we also have special crews that can go out in the orchards to spot pick specific varieties and sizes which are held in bins as well.
We Ship
To ensure our customers receive the freshest produce in a timely manner, we can accommodate full and partial loads utilizing our own fleet of trucks as well as contracting with other trucking companies when necessary.
Our History
The story of Klein’ Kill Fruit Farms Corporation begins with the union between Antonio Bartolotta and Jesse Cooper. Hailing from contrastive upbringings, this couple shared the dream of fresh mountain air, soil and sun. In the spring of 1921, the Bartolotta newlyweds merged this dream into a reality upon purchasing their first farm. One century and four generations later, Klein’s Kill Fruit Farms still maintains the family business on a much larger scale shipping to customers in over 30 US states.
